Using SOBR Rebalance and exporting data
One of the primary pieces of the Veeam Backup & Replication v12 infrastructure is its repository servers; however, using these repository servers to build a SOBR allows us to aggregate multiple standard repositories into one giant repository. The SOBR is comprised of Extents, which are the standard repositories. When you create a SOBR, and depending on how Veeam Backup & Replication chooses to use them based on your policy selection (Data Locality or Performance), some extents can get fuller than others.
Here are the placement policies:
- Data Locality: Backup chains are all stored in the same extent within the SOBR. This policy is selected when using both ReFS/XFS filesystems as it will use the block-cloning features of the respective filesystems.
- Performance: Full backup and incremental backup files are split across extents in this policy, and you will specify which extents are for which backup types. This policy does not...
