let's do a reality check as well. Let's suppose for a minute we get this
time down to 40 minutes again.
How often are you restoring such that the restore is the file your users are
then using instead of the original?
I see no need for a restore cycle back to a restored file on a regular
basis.
Do regular backups with garbage collection.
Do regular restores to a test file to check data integrity and validate the
backup.
Do very infrequent cycles where the users must wait for the restored file.
