This article is valid for Windows Backup Server.
The name of the multiplexer config file is
Hiback\tape\mpx.ini
It contains parameter settings for the multiplexer service.
Useful parameter settings are
split: 2
maxmem: 256
maxfile: 2048
pipe-size: 23040
The meaning of the distinct parameters are
split: size of a single memory segment in MegaByte
maxmem: maximum size of the usable multiplexer memory in MegaByte
maxfile: maximum size of the usable multiplexer disk space in MegaByte
pipe-size: size of the message queue in Byte
pipe-size depends on the other 3 parameters:
pipe-size = ((maxmem+maxfile)/split) * 20
This dependancy has to be taken into account if the parameters split, maxmem or maxfile are changed and pipe-size has to be adjusted accordingly.
