Hi,I have been testing out SQL Server 2016 on some VMs so I took a full backup copy of the prod database which is about 1.9 TB and copied it to the VMs for testing. I noticed that during restore, it was taking a long time, but I let it continue to restore to see how long it'll actually take. It took eight hours to finish. On my testing server (which is a physical server), restores take a little over two hours. I'm curious why there's such a huge discrepancy between the two restores...
