According to the specified requirements, it is necessary to have backups encrypted. If using Veeam's native encryption, which repository type will be impacted the most?

AWindows ReFS with block cloning.

BHardened Repository with XFS reflink cloning.

CSMB share.

DDeduplicating storage appliance.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

If using Veeam's native encryption, the repository type that will be impacted the most is the deduplicating storage appliance. This is because Veeam Backup & Replication uses different encryption keys for every job session, which makes the encrypted data blocks appear as different even if they contain duplicate data. This reduces the deduplication ratio and increases the storage consumption on the deduplicating appliance. If you want to achieve a higher deduplication ratio, you can disable data encryption or use the encryption feature on the deduplicating appliance itself1

But wouldn't using Veeam's native encryption impact deduplicating storage the most?

I dunno, I'm leaning towards A. Windows ReFS with block cloning sounds like it would get hit hard by the encryption.

C'mon, it's gotta be D. Deduplicating storage appliance, right? Encryption is gonna mess with all that deduplication magic.
