How to disable "Fake" file transfers?
I have considered other techniques like using https://github.com/Feh/nocache etc but never felt the pain so bad that I could make the effort. You can give that a shot though

Linux Kernel: The multi-generational LRU
nocache¹. It is LD_PRELOAD based so will only function within the normal limitations of that. It also comes with a couple of tools for examining and modifying the file cache, which makes it useful to judge its value in your environment.
One of my biggest use cases for it is with soxi, which I use solely for playlist manipulation. I don't alias my source tree search tools, because invariably I'm going to want all that stuff in the cache anyway for builds and such.

The Wrong Way to Switch Operating Systems on Your Server
`progress` (https://github.com/Xfennec/progress) and similar can be very helpful too depending on the backup utilities being used (in my case often involving rsync) even if the processes normally have everything set to quiet so no progress information is automatically forthcoming.

pv's progress display is very useful in many contexts, it has been one if the first things I make sure is installed on a new system for years, though I have recently come across https://github.com/Xfennec/progress which is brilliant for some times when pv is not an option or when you want to watch the status of several things which aren't convenient to arrange together via tmux/byobu. Or just for when you forget to use PV and don't want to cancel to change the command.

Week 2: Improving real-time monitoring with more more metrics!
this is awesome! can you add support for progress
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nocache and progress you can also consider the following projects:
Caffeine - A high performance caching library for Java
appmetrics - Node Application Metrics provides a foundational infrastructure for collecting resource and performance monitoring data for Node.js-based applications.
