Hi,  
In my private cloud I want to install ECE and plan to implement snapshot repository.

My clarification is -

1. Is MinIO the only supported software for snapshot repository in private cloud for ECE.
2. Does a shared storage (SAN or NAS) is supported for snapshot repositories in ECE without MinIO?

On 1] Minio (and S3/GCP/Azure of course) is the only one we test. But any S3-compatible BLOB store should work, and we definitely have customers who use other ones.

2] We don't have any support for SAN/NAS, we only support various BLOB stores

None (including minio) are _supported_, in the sense that we will not guarantee to fix issues encountered with just them (and not S3)

`minio` is very safe because it is part of our test suite

We do not maintain a list of blob stores that we know are in use unfortunately
