Hello

My question is about scale-out repository...

Can I use rotated drives repositories (HDD) as a performance extents in scale out??

Thank you

Hi Alan,

there is a limitation:

Scale-out backup repositories do not support rotated drives. If you enable the This repository is backed by rotated hard drives setting on an extent, Veeam Backup & Replication will ignore this setting and will work with such repository as with a standard performance extent.

Thanks!

Yes, I read than in the manual

But...I can read that "Scale out repositories dont support rotated drives" OK

So I understand...I can only add repositories with flash drives to the scale out...not with HDD drives..

But It says that Ii I use HDD repositories...It will ignore hard drives settings...and work with this HDD repository as standar extents...What is a standar performance extent??

Hi Alan,

You're misunderstanding "Rotated"

It's not about spinning disk vs SSD, it's about if you have a repository backed by drives you swap, for example, if you have a Repository in Veeam and this repository is actually 4 different USB Drives -- that is what is not supported with scale out repositories.
