Large VM backups (16TB+)

Post by ryan1212 »

I have some large file servers that I am provisioning (16TB+) and use Windows Server 2012R2 with GPT formatted partitions which I think have a 16TB max file size. On these VMs I plan to use reverse incremental (unable to store a lot of data otherwise....) with monthly active fulls. Does veeam have the ability to split a .vbk into smaller .vbk files to work around the NTFS limitation?

Thanks,
Ryan

EDIT: I just saw the other thread, this can be removed. It sounds like I will be fine as long as I format the repo with the /L option - Format <Drive:> /FS:NTFS /L

Plus don't forget that with dedupe and compression, as well as skipping both the swapfile & dirty blocks, the size of the VBK will be reduced.
