After 3 days of backup runs I should say it:

Honestly, Im as excited about these

under the hood improvements just
about as much as the everything
else combined.

In my opinion [parallel processing]

may very well be the biggest feature
of this release.

We are seeing almost unbelievable

improvements on large VMs.

It seemed too good to be true.

The scale [v7 provides] that were seeing

in testing is pretty amazing.
Very, very impressed with [CPU usage reduction]
on backup proxy servers.
VMs with multiple disks process a few TIMES faster, so snapshots dont
grow large and snapshot commit is no longer a pain in the !

By far, the most impressive part of the testing was the performance of the backup
engine. The partner had installed on a fairly old 4 core physical server that did
not have direct SAN access, so backups were over network mode via 2 bonded
1GbE links. v6 did about 20 MB/s with CPU load around ~40% in this lab. v7
absolutely blew thru the backups, running at an average transfer rate of
200MB/s while task manager showed only ~5% CPU usage. It seemed too good
to be true. We were effectively storage bottlenecked with NBD mode.
