Scale Out Repository with Per-VM

[gingerdazza]

If I have a job containing 100 VMs, and use SOBR, per-vm chain, and data locality mode, will all the vm backups end up on the same extent (because they're part of one job), or will SOBR put each micro-vm-backup-chain across the multiple extents (because we have lots of separate mini backup chains)??

Thanks

Hi Dazza,

The second approach is expected, since data locality mode pays attention to the backup chains, so each micro-vm-backup chain can be stored on a different extents.
You can review the article about Backup File Placement in the User Guide for additional information. Thanks!
