Backup File Server to DAS
-
ok, i like your way of analyzing things, define the terms first, (i'm impressed :))
i mean by format: erase everything -
Okay yes. A system level restore does a full erase either by wiping the drive while applying a full image or by doing a block level rollback. In both cases it is effectively an entire erasure of the system.
-
Just an FYI: formatting would always erase things, but just erasing does not format. Formatting is a specific filesystem operation. So I would use erase in a discussion like this rather than format. Because technically it erases but does not format.

the entire computer backup just finished, it is 58.2 GB and the original is C+D= 113 GB

It only copies the blocks in use not the empty parts of the filesystem

Veeam's technology is pretty impressive. This use of it is similar to StorageCraft.

I've heard that a lot recently. People are surprised that any community can be this active for IT.
