    The pbx process is not responsible for read or write processing.

    It will be bptm process on the destination server as well as bptm processes on the source server.

    These might be a good start (on both source and destination)

    echo 128 > INSTALL_PATH\Veritas\NetBackup\db\config\NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS
    echo 128 > INSTALL_PATH\Veritas\NetBackup\db\config\NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK
    echo 262144 > INSTALL_PATH\Veritas\NetBackup\db\config\SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS
    echo 524288 > INSTALL_PATH\Veritas\NetBackup\db\config\SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK

    Play around with the numbers after you've read the guide that Marianne posted.
