Inodes (number of request) for S3 backup

    For the Inodes:

    • Backup blocks are 2MB uncompressed > 1 inode by block.
    • One folder for each 1000 blocks even if only one is used > 1 inode by folder.
    • VHD metadata just some MB by disk negligeable.
    • Backup metadata also some MB by backup job negligeable.

    With compression we are around 1MB/block so 1 million block/TB > 1million inodes /TB
