Nest CIFS Repository in another backup repository

[ayecee]

Need advice and/ or feedback if the below is a good practice.

I have Veeam B&R 9.5 update 2 at two different sites (Site A and Site B). Both sites manage their own respective environments. I want to store Veeam Configuration backup files for Site A offsite to Site B and vice versa. I was thinking of creating a CIFS repository at Site A that maps to a shared folder at Site B. This shared folder (CIFS repository) at Site B will be created on a repository already used for disk backups at the local site.

Will there be any adverse effects with nesting a CIFS repository in a repository used for disk backups by another backup server?


Thanks.

Hi Andrew, you should be fine with this setup provided the CIFS repository will point to it's own separate folder on the storage.
