In my scenario, I setup xfs dump & restore with large buffers and put "mbuffer" in between them.
mbuffer! Very cool. I love that app, but rarely find good use cases for it. For those who don't know it, mbuffer is often used between apps like tar or cpio and high-speed tape drives. Tape drives in sequential access mode are often far faster than a disk with data scattered all around the place so a large buffer highly optimizes the overall process.
