Plus I cloned my Wii's NAND so I have all of the Virtual Console games and savegames, and I also dumped all of my GameCube memory cards and put everything to the Dolphin memory cards images.

Everything is cool and future-proof now!Highly recommend doing this if you have a working Wii - just install Homebrew Channel and CleanRip.

How long did it take to dump them? I want to do something similar

Not OP, but I have dumped my own collection of GameCube and Wii games.
The easiest way to do it is with a jailbroken Wii since it's not hard to do. Once jailbroken, the dumping process is about 12 minutes for a GC game and about 20-30 minutes for a Wii game (I forget the exact time). So with that in mind, you can make a rough calculation for how long it will take to dump your collection.
There are a few unmentioned steps, like converting the games from .iso to .rvz to save on space, but it's rather easy to get going when you have a guide to follow.

do you have such guide? I already jailbroke my Wii... i think since I have homebrew and clean ripper

I don't want to be condescending. Dolphin Wiki has an article about ripping games. You have to Google it. Or something. I can't give a link because 🎶 Nintendo has orbital lazors 🎶 /bill wurz
