Why Restore is so slow from PBS and what is slow/fast ?

[samsausage]

I'm experiencing slow performance on nvme and 10g as well. I have a backup that is 700GB and processing the metadata for a restore is taking forever. Backups have been fast and incremental, so I didn't notice that a restore would take hours, even on nvme.
I'm going to have to plan moving the data portion of my backups off pbs and I'll use ZFS send instead for that...

You really only need SSDs for the metadata cache.
Then, you will see reasonable speeds while restoring from spinning disks.

How can that be made?

What processor are you using on that server?

No, like the designation say its speeds up metadata. Nevertheless, Your chunks have to read from the spinners.
