[V13] - How to attribute used space on hardened repository to individual system?

[chaos]

So, I have a question - is there a report that shows me the allocated space for a single backuped system (backup chain) that resides on a hardened repository?
Regarding this thread this still seems not possible.

Am I correct, or am I misunderstanding something?

For clarification, we're in the process of standing up a new v13 an infrastructure in serviceprovider environment and plan(ned) to bill the backup storage per system by real allocated space.

And if it's not possible, what could be a "workaround" for it?

Would this be possible with an object storage based repository?

Thanks in advance.

Hello chaos,

Veeam ONE collects data from VBR. Therefore, all reported numbers should match what you see in the VBR console.
In the thread you mentioned, the repository uses XFS, which optimizes the size of backups internally. These optimized numbers are not returned to VBR. As a result, neither Veeam ONE nor VBR displays them.
If this was your question, then yes - you are correct. This is a known behavior for ReFS, XFS and dedup features.

I'm not entirely sure about object storage yet. Are you asking about something specific, or do you mean just S3-compatible storage?
There could be block-level efficiencies, but they might not be exposed. I’ll need to check with the teams to confirm.

Thanks

Thanks Roman,
yes, that was the question.

If you could find an answer regarding object/s3 compatible storage that would be perfect.
