Hi all,

This might not be possible (because of the block level of the restore) but is there anyway to speed up restores to a LUN on a SAN?

If I backup a relative empty 5GB VM on a SAN I get a 700MB .tar file. However, when I restore it to the SAN it writes all 5GB (doing dd I expect).

Is there anyway I can make this more efficient?
