Bandwidth guesstimation for remote copy (existing backups)

[tdewin]

Wrote this quickly, nothing to fancy. It just takes the latest increments of every Backup, adds the increments, then divides by a copy window of 8 hours. Should give you a crude number of bandwidth requirements without WAN acceleration in Mbit/s. It uses the compressed backup size.

If some people could verify, that would be great cause it is written fairly quickly.

Enjoy!

 # 8*60min*60sec
 $copywindow = 8*3600
 $backups = @()
 get-vbrbackup | ?  { $_.JobType -match "^Backup$" } | % { 
    $storages = $_.getStorages()
    $incs = @($storages | ? { -not $_.isFull } | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending)
    if ($incs.Count -gt 0) {
        $inc = $incs[0]
        $backups += New-Object  PSObject -Property @{name=$_.JobName;file=$inc.filepath;backupsize=$inc.Stats.BackupSize}
    }
    else
    {
        write-host ("No inc for {0}" -f $_.JobName )
    }

 }

$backups 
$total = $backups | Measure-Object -Property backupsize -Sum
$bytes = $total.Sum
$bytespersec = $bytes/$copywindow
$mbitpersec = $bytespersec*8/1MB
Write-host ("Guesstimating {0} Mbit/s" -f $mbitpersec)

Should give you something like the following. It will also tell you if you don't have incs. Watch out, in this case, nothing is counted!!!
