Hi Wil,
Recently some of our servers were infected.
For the most important servers we luckilly had Vimalin backups,
however I noticed that restoring e.g. a 500GB and a 900GB virtual machine
from normal harddisk takes a long time
Nowadays my VMs are running from NVMe RAID with a Vimalin backup to a big harddisk.
Would you consider extending Vimalin with a way to backup/restore from a fast disk?
I would like Vimalin to first backup to a fast disk e.g. NvME or SSD and afterwards copy it to a "slow" HDD.
I could then add a 4TB disk as go between, so Vimalin would backup faster.
Preferable the fast between disk would keep the last x backups (next to them being on the big harddisk).
This way backup would be fast, but more important if I want to restore a recent backup,
it would be faster than the 100-150MB/s I recently experienced
