I'm in a home lab environment and need a little guidance from the pros.
I have a working Azure scale-out repository hooked up to a performance tier that backs up a couple of VM's.
I need to move the performance tier to another disk.
I copied the folder that contains the backups from the performance tier to the proper drive. I then tried to add a new location to the scale out repository, but it's giving me this error:
"Unable To Add extent StorageArea because it contains one or more backup files which are not supported by a scale-out backup repository"
I don't want to have the whole drive be the scale out repository just the folder I copied over.
Can someone give guidance on the proper way to move the performance tier that's hooked up to scale out?

Hi Jim
You should not move the backup files first to the new disk and then add it as a extend.
First add the extend, then use supported methods to move backup files:
- Evacuate: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
- Manually move the files: https://www.veeam.com/kb3100
In V12, extend evacuation will use FastClone.
A new extend can be added by configurating a new simple repository to the folder path. Then add this simple repository to the existing SOBR. Then start moving the files with one of the provided options.
Best,
Fabian
