Problem with External USB Drive

Post by matrox65 »

Hello,
i use an 6TB USB Disk that was direct attach over USB3 to my BackUp Server. I was little frustrated why Rotated Hard Drive Option makes my Save slower. I have make two scenarios:

BackUp Repository with "Use per-VM backup files" enabled
- Read Speed 140MB/s
- Transfer Speed 115MB/s

BackUp Repository with "Rotated Hard Drive" enabled
- Read Speed 120MB/s
- Transfer Speed 70MB/s

For me im not understand why i can not use "per-VM backup files" with Rotated Hard Drives.

best regards, Juerg

Hi Juerg, per-VM files are one of the limitations of the repository backed up by rotated drives:
You cannot store per-VM backup files on backup repositories with rotated drives.
And actually you even cannot enable per-VM backup chains on a rotated drives repository.

Yes, that im know. But im wonder why my BackUp with Rotated Disk needs nearly 2x times longer as with per VM BackUp.

It could be explained by the increased number of parallel streams after enabling per-VM chains.
