Synology as backup repository

[nirvanet]

Hello everyone,

Newbie question related to the use of a Synology as Backup Repository on a DRP site.

What the best performance solution:
- Setup NFS on Synology, connect ESX server multipath on this NFS share, create vmdk file on the repository, format new repository drive with ReFS (Which Allocation Unit Size should I use?)
- Mount disk through ISCSI on my Windows Virtual machine, format with ReFS 64k
- Mount NFS share with the Windows NFS client

Or maybe you have another solution?

Thanks for your help

Hi David,

I would go with option 2 - iSCSI to Windows machine and 64k ReFS.

/Thanks!
