For folks with a VBR Server installed in a virtual machine (as per Veeam's recommendation), what size disk do you use for that? When it's not being used to store data, it's just hosting the VBR server and the backup repository is elsewhere. Just generally, I'm curious to see what people use for things.
Specific other question, when installing an update for the VBR server, how much space is typically needed? Looking to see how much space I should be keeping always available on these virtual machines. Because it seems my disk sizes are not always big enough.

Re: VBR Server VM Disk Sizing
a lot will depend on the number of jobs and hisotry retention etc.
we go around 150GB and then if needed we will provision a new disk (for easy expansion) for the logs and configure the log location via the registry.
