REST-API - add units

Post by Cragdoo »

The results from a GET /v2/BackupRepositories are as follows

Code: Select all

 {
    "id": "38db9700-19e7-452a-9a36-23a6d2008c5c",
    "name": "CD-LAB-O365",
    "description": "Created by CRAGDOO\\cragadmin at 10:48",
    "path": "D:\\Backup\\O365",
    "capacity": 268299137024,
    "freeSpace": 267269685248,
    "retentionPeriodType": "Yearly",
    "yearlyRetentionPeriod": "Years3",
    "retentionFrequencyType": "Daily",
    "dailyTime": "00:00:00",
    "dailyType": "Everyday",
    "proxyId": "fee6214d-2ec6-4ebf-93c1-d5be06c17548",
    "_links": {
      "self": {
        "href": "https://10.1.0.49:4443/v2/backuprepositories/38db9700-19e7-452a-9a36-23a6d2008c5c"
      },
      "proxy": {
        "href": "https://10.1.0.49:4443/v2/proxies/fee6214d-2ec6-4ebf-93c1-d5be06c17548"
      }
    }
  }
  
  
  

can you add values to the "capacity" and "freeSpace" values

like

Code: Select all

"path": "D:\\Backup\\O365",
    "capacityMB": 268299137024,
    "freeSpaceMB": 267269685248,
makes it easier to know the unit of the returned value.

Thanks in advance

Hi Craig,

By default, all the capacity/sizing values are provided in bytes. This way they can easily be converted to any required unit of data you need to get.

Thanks!

Craig,
I'm agreeing with Polina on this one. By default all of our units are in bytes and are considered a standard when working with this. Also, changing this now would break quite a lot of integration from partners and customers

understood, but my point is how would people know all the units are in bytes by default? People can make an assumption, but at least I would have thought the documentation should make reference to this, as it stands it doesn't.
