For all I know some fix might be in for these speed limit
issues by now, but I will put them out here anyway just
in case.
1) The speed-limit does not seem to function at all in a
/etc/dirvish/master.conf, only in vault/dirvish/default.conf, ie

Some things to beware of. It is likely the partition was
not idle at the time of back up so it is not 'quite' a
snapshot.
Have the new disk mounted on a different machine
or boot the old machine off a KNOPPIX disk. You do not
want to be running at the same time you are restoring.
Probably the way
Oh, forgot to ask. If you have grub on your
boot sector of the new drive, you should be
okay; but if you have lilo, you will have to
do the dance of the OS transition to get the
restored kernel up in place of the old kernel
and thus avoid the even more fun rework of
your lilo boot sector. This can

I've had USB connected drives appear to be failing
but then work fine after powering down and reconnecting

I've also had a drive that did not have good enough

fine and the 'bad' sectors eve

Ah, but it is a true statement that hard link design doesn't
allow for multiple sources of meta data.

I recommend setting your expire rules to keep one
'never' expire per month or whatever interval pleases
you.

Not sure what it means. I cannot he imagine there is an
intent to modify the dirvish API in
Keith: Yep. Added capability good, changed capability evil.
Anyone who works on mission critical software like dirvish
