Veeam improves the engine in version 11

Veeam is getting really close to shipping their v11 platform update.

Veeam B&R v11 and ReFS

The ReFS filesystem is commonly used for Virtualization, Backup, and Microsoft Exchange because of its resiliency, real-time tier optimization, faster virtual machine operations, and great scalability. But until recently, ReFS didn’t support data deduplication, which was available on NTFS formatted volumes only.
