@Marcel Huisman , following up before I close this thread off.  Were there any other database changes that helped this issue?

Database parameters helped very much in speeding up the backup. Finally we rebalanced the volumegroups on this AIX server and created separate log volumes for each logical volume. At the end there was a defective drive library which was the greatest bottleneck. Still I think we can win extra speed by rebalancing the tablespaces, but we will probably do this the next time when we do a refresh.
Thanks for all of your help.

That’s great news, @Marcel Huisman !  I’ll go ahead and mark this as the Best Answer, though feel free to add more info after your next refresh!
