   Default blocksize 1024  See Note 1
   Default Density #1   27 ( 70GB )
   Default Density #2   26 ( 40GB )

  Note 1:  I suggest you change the default blocksize from 1024 to 32768 or 51200
   if you are using the 'backup' AIX command. Otherwise, backing up with 1024
   can be extremely slow
  ____________________________________________________________________________________

  First, ensure   chdev -l rmtx -a block_size=0

  AIX Command      Default write size      RECOMMENDATIOIN

  backup by name  -b 512 (512*512=262144)  Will use either 32768 or 51200
  (mksysb)                                 depending on if 'backup' is
                                           by name ( -i ) or not. No
                                           user change is required

  backup by inode -b 256                   -i flag

  tar             -N512 (512*512=262144)   There is an error in the manual
                                           that states a 512KB block size.
                                           The user needs to set the
                                           Blocking Parameter to -N512

  mksysb          See backup by name       mksysb uses the backup command.
                                           No user change is required.

  dd              n/a                      The user needs to set the
                                           Blocking Parameter to bs=32K

  cpio           -C 512 (512*512=262144)
