Switch Repository from reFS to NTFS?

[pufferdude]

Due to very poor performance with my Backup to Tape jobs (apparently due the block cloning stuff on reFS and poor performance reading that back to get it to tape) I'm thinking of switching back to NTFS... especially as I don't really need the space savings. Would I be able to:
1. stop all jobs to the repository
2. Copy existing repo data to other NAS
3. reformat volume
4. Copy data back to new repo
5. re-enable jobs
?

Or would it be more complicated than that? Would Veeam "see" the new repository the same as it did before, or would I need to "import" thos backups in some way? Any advice appreciate.

(For those saying there's something else going on, please see this thread tape-f29/slow-tape-job-performance-t61054.html I'm seeing about 300MB/sec when I do a FILES to tape job (from a NAS over 10Gbps) vs. about 55MB/sec with a BACKUP to tape job from local reFS array holding the Veeam repository)

Hello,
sounds good. Maybe step 6 "rescan repository" to make sure everything is fine.
