    BACKUP DATABASE Test1

    TO DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_1.bak',

    TO DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_2.bak',

    TO DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_3.bak',

    TO DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_4.bak',

    TO DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_5.bak'

    Should be this

    BACKUP DATABASE Test1

    TO DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_1.bak',

    DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_2.bak',

    DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_3.bak',

    DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_4.bak',

    DISK = 'C:\temp\20130319_5.bak'

    The multiple backup devices should ideally be on separate devices, i doubt you'll see any improvements.
