About repositories

A repository stores the snapshots that are captured from your protected workstations and servers. The
repository can reside on different storage technologies such as Storage Area Network (SAN), Direct
Attached Storage (DAS), or Network Attached Storage (NAS).
When you create a repository, the Core preallocates the storage space required for the data and
metadata in the specified location. You can create up to 255 independent repositories on a single core
that span across different storage technologies. In addition, you can further increase the size of a
repository by adding new file extents or specifications. An extended repository can contain up to 4096
extents that span across different storage technologies.
Key repository concepts and considerations include:
• The repository is based on the AppAssure Scalable Object File System.
