ReFS block cloning statistics per Job

Post by JMeixner »

Hello,
I am looking for a possible solution to calculate the space savings with ReFS block cloning per job in a Repository.
I have scripted a solution with a external tool - blockstat.exe. But this takes a huge amount of time even for a medium sized repository with around 30 jobs.

Does Veeam save some statistics about this in the Veeam database?
If yes, how do I get these values? 8)

It would be great if the repository would show the „real“ usage. This should not that difficult and makes more sense.

Hi Jochen,

I'm afraid there isn't a way to obtain this info with our powershell module as it is not being written anywhere in Veeam DB.
So, it is rather a matter of core level implementation. Looks like blockstat is currently the only tool, which might be helpful in your case.
But, as per this thread, we have this feature request noted.

Thanks for your feedback!

@karsten123, as I checked, we have this feature request for a while now. Currently, it is under consideration, so cannot provide any precise info on when it will be implemented. Thanks!
