Actual Storage Used on ReFS

[svallance]

So, backing up to an ReFS formatted storage allows for fast cloning and spaceless synthetic fulls. We have a couple backups running to the same repository and are seeing great benefits to the actual stored size vs. what windows is reporting the file sizes are. For example a backup job pointing to a ReFS volume with a 2TB full creates a synthetic full that is also 2TB, right click properties on the actual files reports they have a file size of 4TB where as right click properties on the volume they are stored on shows only ~2.15TB used. Its easy to see how much storage is saved that way for a single backup job but what about multiple backup jobs.

If we have 3 backup jobs on ReFS each with a full backup and 1 synthetic full is there a way to tell the actual storage used of the individual jobs? With NTFS deduplication we could use the "get-dedupmetadata" to find the dedupe size/how much storage would be freed up if the files were deleted. Is there something similar with Windows 2016 ReFS?

Unfortunately there's no way to get this information in the current release of Server 2016/ReFS.
Hopefully Microsoft will address this soon.
