Just found Vimalin and it's exactly what I've been looking for! In my initial testing backing up a large VM (~760GB) running in vmware workstation 15 Pro a large portion of time is spent running CertUtil.exe to generate the MD5. It's processing the file at ~210MB/s which means CertUtil spends an hour each time a backup is run. The ssd the VM is stored on is just a normal sata SSD but I suspect the bottleneck here isn't the SSD but CertUtil itself? The host machine has a 4Ghz (all core) 8-core CPU and certutil seems to use only about 2-3% when it's running.
Anyways, is there any way to make this process go faster? I'm planning to swap out for a much faster nvme drive soon partially to increase backup speeds as the NAS I backup to is capable of being written to at sustained 10Gbit/s and sata isn't cutting it.
Thanks for any help!
