Getting backup size via VBR API v11

[claygod]

Hello!

Through the application, you can get information about the Backup Size of restore points
(https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/ba ... rties.html)

Tell me, is it possible to get such information through the VBR API version 11.0?

Hi,

Not possible with VBR REST in v11 as we haven't exposed backup files there yet.
But I noted your question as a feature request.

Best regards,
Oleg

Oleg, thanks for the quick response!

Let me clarify: is this also impossible through the VBEM API (when it interacts with vSphere)?

Hi Eduard,

In EM REST API it's possible:

1. Obtain a backup with GET /backups/{ID}.
2. Query its backup files using the link of BackupFileReferenceList type.
3. Get backup files specs in a list using Entity formatting. Example:
https://localhost:9398/api/backups/{id} ... mat=Entity
4. Count the sum of BackupSize values for each backup file.

For a list of available properties for backup files check this article.

Best regards,
Oleg
