VDR restoration speed

Hello,

We have a VDR setup on where the datastores are stored on a NFS volume (1Gb network). Backup are working fine since a few weeks and are done quite fast.

Now i'm doing some restore testing. But the restore performances are not there.. It takes 36 minutes to restore a 15GB VMs (on which 13 is used)

1/10/2012 4:59:44 PM: Completed: 4 files, 15.1 GB
1/10/2012 4:59:44 PM: Performance: 424.1 MB/minute
1/10/2012 4:59:44 PM: Duration: 00:36:11 (00:00:04 idle/loading/preparing)

I've done some testing with bonnie++ and dd directly on the VDR VM's datastore to control the NFS speed and i'm getting a steady 400Mbit.

Is there something i'm doing wrong? I tried adding more memory, more CPU, change host, etc...

Thanks,

Fred
