full XFS support (RM-757)

Thread needs solution

Hereby voting for the implementation of full XFS support: there is a feature request for it (RM-757), more than two years old, hopefully being worked on.

Background:
The "Cyper Protect 15 Supported file systems" lists some grave limitations for XFS file systems:

  • Files cannot be excluded from a disk backup
  • Fast incremental/ differential backup cannot be enabled
  • Volumes cannot be resized during a recovery
  • Recovering files from a backup stored on a tape is not supported

XFS is powerful, stable and established.

Other existing and potential customers are invited to vote for this to further a timely implementation.

Thanks, Tom

Hello Tom.

I added your vote in March. Hopefully the feature will be implemented as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Vote 1 + 

And while your at it add ZFS support which is also a well established, powerful, stable, filesystem that deserves full support.

Other users are encouraged to vote here as well!
