where to see dedup&compression (without Veeam One)

[Luca82]

Hi everyone, is it possible to dig out some information from the Veeam server console about the level of deduplication and compression of the backup files? I can find some information from each backup job report, but I would like to have an overall summary of all the backups.
Thank you very much.

Hello Hello Luca

You can find dedup and compression values in the backup properties:

thank you Fabian, but I was looking for an overall information, for all the backups, not just one of them...

Hi Luca

There may be options through PowerShell.
I'll ask my colleague if he has an idea.

Best,
Fabian

Hi!

This can be checked in Powershell with the following commands. Please note that it does currently require an unsupported method, but this is _safe_ for use if you're only doing reporting.

Code: Select all

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name 'dd-mongocluster-environment-backup'
$storages = $backup.GetAllChildrenStorages() # GetAllChildrenStorages() would be the unsupported method
$storages.Stats

BackupSize    DataSize DedupRatio CompressRatio
----------    -------- ---------- -------------
3486744576 49392151832         12            57
3386138624 51539635479         11            56
3170029568 51539635485         11            55

The Stats property on the CStorage objects is a an CBackupStats object with several properties reflected above, so if you're writing a script to generate a report, you'll need to parse out the properties desired in your script.

Wow, thank you so much! I'll try it and give you feedback
