MSP - Big files concern

[infused]

Hi Guys.

We've just noticed the more we add to Veeam 365 backup, the bigger the files are getting, the bigger the load on SQL server.

I have a couple of concerns:

* How concerned do we need to be about file corruption in the year folders, 2020 etc (adb files)
* As we grow this, are we going to run into further issues?
* Does Veeam have any kind of repair ability?

Hi @infused

What do you mean with the bigger the load on SQL server? (I assume you mean the load on the JET DBs?)

For your concerns: Each repository is a separate set of JET DBs. Per year we have at least into 1 ADB file, and if it grows to its limit, we automatically create a second one (and third and so on) for that year.

We never go over the max limit of that database.

When you say, as we grow this, can you explain more? Since you are a service provider, are you using repositories per customer?

For the repair, our support can help with this, but it is based on the known Exchange repair tools. (ESEUTIL)

As you continue to grow, did you already consider object storage repositories?

I've got it sussed with support. So I need a new database per customer which is fine. Is there a way to move the customers data out of the main database to the customer specific one?

You can use PowerShell to move data (for more information, please check the user guide).
