We have found an issue with this on our end. Apparently our engine still contains and makes an NTFS-specific file system call that does not apply to ReFS. While it does nothing, it significantly reduces the processing performance particularly on fragmented ReFS volumes. We will try to remove it in the next update, which should increase performance on fragmented ReFS volumes significantly.Now all depends on your requirements and hardware specs. When using SSD's, the performance degradation because of the fragmentation of files because of block-cloning will be much less (but still there). We still use ReFS on a remote repository which does have SSDs and it performs quite well. But for our main repository which is running from large spindles (as 100+TB of enterprise SSD storage is simply rather expensive for 'just' backups) ReFS gave us nothing but trouble [...] With NTFS, we improved the stability and sustained backup performance a zillion times over ReFS (we now do about 300MB/sec opposed to 10 with ReFS).
