Explanation
Using a hardened repository with XFS and Fast Clone addresses both performance and security concerns while optimizing storage efficiency. Fast Clone enables synthetic full backups by reusing existing data blocks on the repository, which significantly reduces the space required for full backups. Deploying a hardened repository enhances security by making the backup storage immutable, protecting it from unauthorized modifications or ransomware attacks. This solution aligns with the customer's concerns and provides a robust, scalable option.
