API - Repository size per Job

[HalYaman]

Hi there,

Trying to get the total repository consumption size per job and am unable to find an API that can retrieve the size consumed (to date). is there any way I can get the total size of the repository consumed per job?

Thanks
HY.

Hi Hal,

You can pull this information from the Enterprise Manager API:

1. Retrieve Jobs
2. Retrieve Backup for Job
   • GET /api/query?type=Backup&filter=JobUid=="urn:veeam:Job:00b3c158-7e52-43dc-a25b-a8ab2126e0b1"
3. Retrieve Backup Files for Backup
   • GET /api/query?format=Entities&type=BackupFile&filter=BackupUid=="d1a8ab66-e5dc-4312-b8d7-77877feb0468"
4. Adding together the BackupSize for all backup files will provide you the total backup size for the job

Hi @chris

Thanks for your reply, I found that this will not take into account the retention policy when the backup files will be expired. What I'm doing is retrieving the backup job session etc... and storing the info on a DB, but when a retention kick-on this will now show the actual remaining size consumed. or I miss something?

But will give this a try again and compare

To my knowledge, only backup files that currently exist are returned. If the retention expired and the backup file has been deleted, I wouldn't expect it to be present in this API call.

Hi All,

any change on this API call, seems not returning any info anymore except:

Hi Hal,

It appears you're trying to use this API call? If so, it's working fine in my lab environment.
