Hi,  By default if you create a NFS datastore using data protection with snapshot schedule enabled the size allocated for the datastore also includes the default size for snapshots and it may vary from a min of 10 GB to a max of 35% of the size of the datastore and if you have auto extension enabled for the snapshots then the protection size may vary again depending upon the size of the snapshots. Ex: A 350 GB NFS datastore with snapshot schedule may take 472.5GB space on the storage pool (35% of 350=122.5GB)  Regards,  Sri
I created one Datastore  (NFS) for my2  ESX hosts. As I am setting up another  VMWare datastores and setting up the snapshot schedules, it is setting the allocated space to 350 GB.  It has increased fro what i assigned the first time, Why has that increased so much since the first datastore?  I’m sure I’m missing something.  Is that maybe the total for all datastore snapshots or for each datastore?  Please suggest
