efficient backup restore between MongoAtlas Projects

Hello, currently, when we restore a SNAPSHOT from one cluster to another cluster in the same MongoAtas Project (example from "production" project to "production" project), this is very efficient (several minutes). On the other hand, if we execute the same backup restore from one cluster to another cluster on another MongoAtlas project (example : from "production" project to "staging" project), this is much less efficient and it will take several hours (instead of several minutes above). This is very efficient in the same MongoAtlas project because it will use cloud provider system using hard disk management. Could you improve efficiency of backup restore system between MongoAtlas Projects ? Similarly, could you do the same if cluster nodes are on different regions ? Thank you. Regards. David

    We have released the ability to enable faster restores across projects in AWS for Atlas Backups! You can enable faster cross-project restores by clicking the “Faster Restore” button in the cluster Backup page.

    Right. We are also impacted due to cross project snapshot restoration inefficiency.

    If this can be implemented, it would be very helpful for us also.
