RESTful API: storage per tenant in a repository

Post by Integri_Sander »

Hello,

I have used the following calls to see how much storage a tenant consumes in a repository:

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=50
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=50

The problem with these calls is that it doesn't show all the data.
I can see that my backup repository has a capacity of 99.66GB and 22.82GB of it is free space, that means about 77GB of it is used.

When I perform the calls, it shows my tenant uses 270MB, when it is the only backed up tenant in the repository.

I was wondering if there was a way of also retrieving the 77GB and see which tenant it belongs to.

I think that the 77GB is data from users in the repository which are no longer in a backup job, but still in the backup repository.

Kind regards

Hi Sander,

Even if some of the organization's objects (users, sites, etc) are no longer in jobs, these calls should count them for sizing.
However, when some backup data is deleted from a repository database (i.e. by retention), the physical size of the database doesn't shrink, and this could explain the difference in numbers that you see. The free space inside databases is then reused to store new backup data.

Thanks!
