Just to check like Oracle, parallelism works well with multiple tablespaces.
Moving tables/ indexes to multiple tablespaces to use the parallelism to
boost the backup speed. With a single tablespace, parallelism will not work.

Even with Oracle you need to know the architecture of your storage to decide whether you can expect performance improvements. If you happen to have some kind of NAS, you partitions for the different table spaces might reside on the very same hardware and you probably gain naught.
