Nutanix NFS vs ReFS for the Repository

[MrShade]

Hi there,

I'm a bit stuck with my design, I've read the BPG for Nutanix and it strongly recommends using NFS however I really want to take advantage of ReFS' space efficiencies without having to resort to a dedup appliance.

Are there any recommendations anyone can give? Also, would I need to go to NBD mode if I wasn't using NFS?

Thanks,

Ed

I am not sure about the situation. You speak about backup target and mix it with VMware backup protocolls.
Can you please describe the situation a bit more deeply.
Which Storage do you have under VMware with what protocoll?

What backup target to you use with what protocoll?
