A lot of hassle compared to: nbdkit file /dev/nvme0n1 nbdcopy nbd://otherlaptop localfile

  This is actually much better because nbdcopy can handle sparse files, you can set the number of connections and threads to number of cores, you can force a flush before exit, and enable a progress bar. For unencrypted drives it also supports TLS.

    If you really want a progress bar chuck in a 'pv' somewhere into the command posted at the top of the thread.

      Or add nbdcopy -p option :-)

      And "dd conv=sparse" to fix the other problem.
