Infos about files in repositories for accounting

[Spex]

For accounting reasons I gathered with v11 every month all the files in the repositories and build a report how much storage each vm uses.
The informations I needed came from Get-VBRBackupFile that had beside others a stats property with subitems datasize, backupsize, compression and deduperatio.

Now all this is gone - in v12 get-vbrbackupfile has only 3 properties: id,IsAvailable and Path
Where has this information now moved to?

Is there an easy way to get storage consumption per backup object for primary and copypools (including sql, fileshares, agents....)

Hi Stefan,

Are you sure you are talking about the official Get-VBRBackupFile cmdlet? Because VBRBackupFile class never contained such properties and Get-VBRBackupFile never returned them. Maybe you are referring to some wrapper function that has the same name, but calls other methods like GetAllChildrenStorages() on a backup and returns objects of CStorage class?

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Oleg, you are right. Sorry I missed a line of code.
I used Getallstorages() thats no longer available. The information I need is under the stats property. Where can I find this now?
Kind regards spex

Hi Stefan,

In v12 we introduced true per-vm, so backups architecture changed. It might be the reason why GetAllStorages() doesn't work. Try GetAllChildrenStorages() instead. It fetches all the storages of child backups and works in my v12 lab.

Best regards,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,
GetAllChildrenStorages() helped. Now I have all needed stats available again.
Thanks a lot!
