If your VMWare vSphere 6.x environment esxtop command output looks like a bunch of garbled gibberish (it's actually CSV format), then you need to change the terminal declaration to xterm but don't ask me why it's configured like this in the first place.

From time to time Windows Admins will surprise you with band-aid and bubble gum scripts, that's entirely expected I think. But then again with just about the same irregular interval with a touch of entropy sprinkled on the electrical-fire cake, someone comes along and actually puts together something that works well, and efficiently. Resource efficiency is entirely under-rated and feels like the subject has been coaxed out of conversational existence by the x86 Wintel side of people, for lack of a better term.

In my opinion in order to achieve an efficient, fast executing, and fast to exit backup routine means executing multiple copies of Robocopy running in parallel through the use of spawning multiple copies via start.exe. The reason for my preference of Robocopy, over say a custom PowerShell function is due to the fact that utilities like robocopy.exe is already in the most "efficient" form as seen by the physical CPU. Compiled binary executables (exe's) will always win versus managed-code which is what PowerShell and regular batch scripts are. Just remember that the lower-level the code (C/C++, Assembly), the closer it is to native machine language, and ex*****on faster due to less compiling needed for translation in binary (0's and 1's), in general. From the processor perspective these are apple's and oranges. Without further adieu:
