Have you watched the latest episode of the Veeam 100 Show ? If not you can rewatch it in here: 

In a #backup environment, repository performance is a critical factor that shouldn’t be overlooked. While high throughput is great for any backup administrator, there’s more to consider—especially when disaster strikes. Speed becomes essential to meet SLAs.

In this technical deep dive, we’ll explore repository benchmarking best practices, answering key questions like:
🔹 Is ReFS or XFS faster?
🔹 iSCSI, FC, or SAS—what performs best?
🔹 How do the number of HDDs or LUNs impact performance?

This session will cover how to measure performance, the impact of disk parallelism, common pitfalls to avoid, and key lessons learned to optimize your backup storage in real-world scenarios.

Finally, we’ll dive into how LVM can enhance a Linux-hardened repository, offering both flexibility and a final performance boost! 

Great to have ​@MatzeB and ​@Andrew.Zhelezko  in the show!
