Backing Up Large Drive

[cowhow]

Advice please...I'm building file servers for My Docs redirection and general file sharing. The file sharing server has a 1.5 TB data drive. The My Docs will be similar. My preference is to keep one large drive rather than break it up into smaller, 500Gb for example, drives. Does Veeam care? As these drives fill up will it make backups faster if I do break up the drives?

I welcome comments, suggestions, and free lunch offers.

Multiple drives can be processed by one or multiple proxy servers simultaneously, which might speed up the process. Thanks.

And Veeam B&R doesn't actually care about VM size.

Cool. Thanks for the link. That should leave me plenty of wiggle room.

Be very careful with mounted volumes with Veeam. The FLR process doesn't even know how to deal with mounted volumes. If your large drives are mounted to a folder on a windows server, you will have problems with indexing, one click restore, etc. The only way to restore is a manual copy of the file or files. Which totally sucks.

The OP seems to want to backup a VM that will play the role of file share. The file share itself is unlikely to have mounted volumes. Thanks.
