Hi,

For PITR we are taking oplog backup every one hour  
The oplog is around 200GB and the backups run for almost 1.5hours  
Is there a way we can speed the mongodump

{  
“ns” : “local.oplog.rs”,  
“size” : 213203044962,  
“count” : 1265327007,  
“avgObjSize” : 168,  
“storageSize” : 37790625792,  
“capped” : true,

Thanks,
