Hi Gary, For Legacy backups, RESOURCUTILIZATION will not do anything. BUFFERS and BUFFERSIZE default to the optimum value as tested in the lab. There is some discussion in the book about BUFFER and BUFFERSIZE, but as with any "tuning" option, your mileage may vary.
For VSS backups, RESOURCUTILIZATION may help. It depends on how your physical data is spread across your volumes. For VSS backups, RESOURCUTILIZATION needs to be placed into the DSM.OPT file for the DSMAGENT (not the DP/Exchange one).
