REFS & SOBR

Post by Jeff M »

Does anyone know, would there be any issue with adding an REFS extent to all NTFS SOBR??

No, it should work. Otherwise the UI would warn you as well.

If you run SOBR in locality mode the REFS extends could use block cloning.

If you use external storage for REFS be sure that the storage controller are on the Microsoft HCL so that the "Flush" command is treated correctly at the storage.

hopefully it is OK to add this question here as it applies to the thread title:

If I create a SOBR with three ReFS volumes, will the ReFS dedupe and block clone features still work like it does with a standard repository?

Block Cloning will not be available between the different extents.

But it will work for synthesized full backups on the same extent where the incremental blocks already exist.

Configure backup file placement „data locality“ for using the block cloning feature:
