Is there any way to use PowerShell to query (used space) in a (Veeam Data Cloud Vault)?
I can query (used space) in local vaults using the following command, but the Veeam Cloud Vault always shows a value of (-1).
foreach ($Repo in get-vbrbackuprepository) {write-host "$($Repo.name): $($Repo.GetContainer().CachedTotalSpace.InBytes)"}

NAS01: 34538752606208
NAS02: 69078509158400
Veeam Cloud Vault: -1
I’ve seen a number of posts relating to this, but they are all either out of date, reference cloud vaults hosted by a third party, or do not apply to Veeam 12 or 13. The information is available in the Veeam console; it shows up under Backup Repositories under Backup Infrastructure. I am really hoping there is a PowerShell command to simply query the (used space) in a (Veeam Data Cloud Vault). Alternatively, does Veeam cache that information locally? Is there a way to query what it displays on the Backup Repositories screen?

Re: Query (used space) in a (Veeam Data Cloud Vault) with PowerShell
Hi Eddie, welcome to the forums.
CachedTotalSpace relates to the capacity of a repository, not the used space. With the CachedTotalSpace and CachedFreeSpace values you can estimate the used space, but you can also query it with another unsupported method:
[Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupRepository]::GetRepositoryBackupsSize()
This accepts a Repository GUID as an argument, and returns total size of backups written to the repository.
