Frontend Capacity Utilization for Agents

[kro]

Hi there,

I would like to use a PowerShell script to query the actual amount of data being backed up by an agent. So not the size of the disk being backed up, but the capacity being used.
For example: If the agent is backing up a 2TB hard drive, but it is only filled with 500GB, I would like to get the 500GB.

For VMs, I could use the Get-VBRJobObject -Job "job name" function to get an approximate size. When I query agents at this point, I always get 0 as an approximation.
Is anything like this possible for agents? I would appreciate any advice or tips on how to implement this in PowerShell.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We don't pull such an info for agent in the context of job objects, but you can try approaching it from backup properties angle. For example:

Code: Select all

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name 'Agent Backup Job 2'
$rps = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup
$rps[0].ApproxSize

Best regards,
Oleg
