Indeed I suspected the fragmentation was unavoidable. With reflink the very nature of what is "contiguous" becomes murky. So I think the goal should be to work with the various alignment and block size settings to still allow effective discards. My focus is on repair options for when those get mismatched and you don't have a lot of space to be throwing around fresh full backups. My secondary goal is to simply ask what others experience is and if they have other gotcha's I should be looking out for. ![:)]( "Smile")
My tertiary goal is to get as much of this info in a place indexable by search engines as possible.
What I need to learn is:
* How do you set the block size for a copy job?
* Does the Veeam maintenance/compaction/defrag operation work with per machine chains in a way that minimizes the balloon space required. If I have 50 VM's in a job, do I need room for a full backup of all 50, or just the largest of the 50?
Appreciate the feedback!
