I made two tests:
No compression:
INFO: transferred 107374 MB in 318 seconds (337 MB/s)
INFO: archive file size: 34.06GB
INFO: Finished Backup of VM 100 (00:05:20)
Restore took 5 minutes.
Lzo compression:
INFO: transferred 107374 MB in 322 seconds (333 MB/s)
INFO: archive file size: 25.88GB
INFO: Finished Backup of VM 100 (00:05:23)
Restore took 7 minutes.
With no compression, restore is quicker. But when it comes to bad sector issue, will no compression survive. I had success in past with lzo compression but for faster restores, I am thinking of using no compression. (It would be really cool if we were able to browse backup without needing to restore it. )
