V12 Move Backup feature keep on same extent

Post by scottf99 »

Hi. I have a SOBR with 4 extents/repositories. I want to move a VM from one backup to another. When I did tried this I expected/hoped to keep it on the same extent as that it would be a file move with little to no IO. Instead it moved it to another extent with a ton of IO and the backup file ending up on an extent I didnt want to use.
Is there a way to force "Move Backup" to keep the files on the same extent and if there is am I correct it would be a typical file move with no IO?
Thanks

Hello,
unfortunately I'm not aware of a workaround, but I can tell you that we are planning to fix that issue.

Best regards,
Hannes

Thanks. Can you give an estimate of a time to fix?

Hello Scottf99 and HannesK,
I can even add to this, that I see the same behaviour with a SOBR containing only one extent (ReFs).
You should include using the filesystem's capabilities to just change pointers to the files instead of copying every bit.

We're hoping to address this in 12a, I just discussed this with the responsible R&D team last week.
