Used space of a Azure External Repository

[gerwin]

We are looking for the powershell command to get the Used Space on the external repositories.
Backup Infrastructure > External Repositories > Used Space column.
For example we use the below value for our wasabi repo's.

[Veeam.Backup.Core.CArchiveRepository]::GetTotalUsedSize($repo.Id)
But this ain't working for the Azure backup > Microsoft Azure Blob Storage repo's.

Hi @gerwin, maybe I'm missing it but I'm not sure there's a supported method for retrieving this right now.

You can use the following unsupported method to retrieve information on the external repositories. Please note that as the method is unsupported, the syntax and functionality of this method may change on any given update. Hopefully we can get some more reporting on this, as looks like the REST API only supports directly attached and network (e.g., SMB/NFS) repositories: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/ba ... positories

[Veeam.Backup.ExternalRepository.CExternalRepository]::GetAll()

There is a method GetContainer() which I believe gives you what you want, and the resulting object has an Info property.

Does that work for you with the unsupported method?

Thanks, found more info and options about the repo. But not the amount of used space.
If anyone find a way to get the used space in powershell let me know.

Hi Gerwin,

Try:
Get-VBRLicenseAutoUpdateStatus | Out-Null #this is required to "hot load" the DLLs
$repo = [Veeam.Backup.ExternalRepository.CExternalRepository]::GetAll()
$repo.GetContainer().Info

Id : 698f7ea6-0f6b-4675-a790-fc3262bd8799
Type : Default
TotalSpace : 780 MB (817931692)
FreeSpace : 0 B (0)
UniqueKey : 698F7EA6-0F6B-4675-A790-FC3262BD8799

That's what I had here. FreeSpace will always be 0 because S3/Blob buckets are "infinite". I'm testing on v12 CP3 btw, so if you're not on the same it might have changed.
