Curtis, Thank you for your reply.
I have tried your suggestion and it is working. I see a slight performance increase when doing the mpx restore now, which should translate to higher gains when restoring more data. One more question for everyone: I need to rename files as well. Is the best option to use bprestore -R <renamefile> or is there another trick that works better? Can I use the same rename file for each bprestore command or should I make one for each stream?
