I think you've always said you use defaults? Or maybe you backup to DVDs instead e.g. BD-25 assuming that would make a difference.
Yes, that is the default, and that's how I usually have mine set. But it is rare that I ever see a disc that isn't two-pass. It pretty much always is two-pass to BD-9. I guess it would be more common on movie-only backups than full backups. I also sometimes just set my system to "High Quality (Default)" when I'm running a job overnight and don't care about time.

But "Automatic" is the way to go 90+% of the time. While you can set it to one of the higher fixed settings, you probably won't see an improvement for the additional time involved, and in "Automatic" BD-RB will adjust up to one of those when it thinks it needs to.
