[Feature Request] Report for Customer Storage Consumption

[ranbom1]

We are looking to be able to run or generate a report in Veeam One Reporter against either a backup job, vCenter vApp, Virtual machine folder, or a Veeam One Business Group that could calculate the total used storage of backups from VMs in the group specified.

I know there is currently the "Veeam Backup Billing" report that allows you to run a similar report against either the backup infrastructure, or a Business View Object. This doesn't work as I had hoped because the report can only be ran against "Backup Files" or "Backup Copies". The two also can't be run together, and it also does not take into consideration that there could be Offsite Copies as well. I hope that we could have a method that would report Backup Files, GFS copies, and Offsite copies in one simple form.

Hi Jacob,

Welcome to Veeam Community Forums and thanks for posting!

Could you please let us know why it is not suitable to run the Backup Billing report with the desired Business View scope separately for Backup Jobs and Backup Copies, then merge the output via our report builder engine?

Also, GFS copies do not differ from normal backup copies from the reporting perspective - they are both basically backup copies with different approaches to retention handling. Could you please clarify what is missing here?

Thanks in advance!

The main issue with the backup billing is the inability to include offsite copies in the report. When trying to audit usage for a group of servers the offsite backups generally take up at least half of the storage, and sometimes more depending on the storage policy.

Hi Jacob,

What do you call an "offsite copy"?

Thanks
