Hi,
In relation to the (now locked) thread of http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ff9b8081-68dd-4c0f-8fd4-7b23950c4f20/consistency-check-takes-forever-on-large-volumes I would like some advice.
Our main file server holds just over 2TB of files and is experiencing the slow CC. The OS is a VM and the data drive is a pass-through disk to the SAN (attached via SAS). From the last post of the thread, my thought is to create a VHDX on the attached SAN volume and move (copy/restore/etc carefully) the data into this file, then attach that inside the VM (and delete the old data).
Is it correct then that DPM will backup the VM AND this VHDX and CC's will be much quicker?
Just trying to get my understanding 100% before going ahead!
Thanks
Tim
