How to find out real size of a backup job with synt fulls

[jarzi]

We have linux repos with immutability enabled. What I need is to know much data for a JobA there actually is on a disk. With weekly synthetic fulls, the amount of data shown for 30 days retention shows 5 full backups and thus way too much.

I haven't found any report that would show this and I'm wondering if it's possible at all

Hi Jarno,

Is the Backups on repository report what you are looking for? You can also, pull that data using REST APIs of VONE v11a, EM or VBR.

Thanks

Hi,

unfortunately "Backups on repository doesn't work" as there are multiple jobs in the same repos.

Hello,

The Backups on repository report provides data on a per-workload basis while also mentioning the job processing each workload, so you may sum up the values of each workload being processed by a certain job to get the required data.

Thanks

Cheers mate, that looks promising!

You are welcome! By the way, there are several other reports that can do the same in a similar way, for example, Backup Infrastructure Custom Data (if you select "Workload", "Computer", or "Virtual Machine"), and Workload Protection History.
