  By ReaR user @dsamx

• Brief description of the changes in this pull request:
  In backup/NETFS/default/500_make_backup.sh add "bs=1M" to
  SPLIT_COMMAND="dd of=$backuparchive bs=1M"
  to let 'dd' read and write up to 1MiB at a time to speed up things
  for example from only 500KiB/s (with the 'dd' default of 512 bytes)
  via a 100MBit network connection to about its full capacity

Because adding bs=1M seems to be an improvement in any case, cf.

I would like to merge it tomorrow afternoon
unless there are objections until then.
