Virtual Machine Snapshot Architecture & Backup Storage Thinning
Implemented automated backup repository deduplication and hypervisor checkpoint monitoring to prevent storage allocation exhaustion.
Key Features & Implementation
- Orphaned Checkpoint Auto-Detection: Built PowerShell scripts to flag and gracefully consolidate lingering hypervisor checkpoints older than 72 hours.
- ReFS Block-Cloning Storage: Configured ReFS synthetic full backup repositories utilizing fast-clone technology to save storage space.
- GFS Backup Retention Policy: Standardized Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) backup retention chains for compliant long-term archival.
