Does Veeam B&R play well with ReFS volumes that have snapshots enabled?

Post by jdrch »

I have Veeam B&R deployment that uses an ReFS volume on a single column, 2 way mirror virtual disk (storage space) that sits on a 2 HDD storage pool as its main repo.

I'd like enable daily volume snapshots on the ReFS volume as another (read: NOT the only) line of defense against ransomware. Is there any reason B&R would choke on a volume with snapshots enabled like that?

Hello,
(storage or filesystem) snapshots are transparent to the software (no matter which software).

So you can do it. There just needs to be enough free disk space for the snapshots.

Best regards,
