I have purchased an HPE StoreEasy 1660 device for on-site storage of our Commvault backups. As I am working through setting this device up, a number of questions have come up which got me wondering if there is a “best practice” to follow so I can get this in an optimal configuration for Commvault backup storage.
- I am setting up a RAID 6 array. The device is running Windows Server 2019. What allocation unit size would be best?
- I have the ability to join this device to our domain. Are we in a more secure position if I don’t join it to the AD domain? I’ve got ransomware risks on my mind.
- Any other suggestions?
