Details on Backup Repositories

[titus.bandugula]

Hello Team,

I'm new to "Veeam Backup and Replication", I want to know how can I check the total space saved on the Backup Repositories.
I've been using TSM for quite sometime and on each storage pool(i.e. backup repository) you see the total space available, consumed, space saved with deduplication/compression (with %).
Can I get a similar figure with Veeam ??

Also, 'Backup to Tape' when configured to copy data from the backup repository to Tape will it rehydrate the data (which was compressed & deduplicated) ?

Thanks in Advance !!

Regards,

Titus

Hi Titus

Welcome to the forum and veeam.
The best place is to check backup properties to know the space savings of your backups:


You can also use Veeam One Reports. Veeam One is our product for monitoring and reporting.
If you have an essentials license, it's included in your license.
You could use the "Backup Infrastructure Custom Data" report to export VM size and backup size.

Do you use reFS or XFS repositories? With this filesystem, our FastClone technology is used:

Also, 'Backup to Tape' when configured to copy data from the backup repository to Tape will it rehydrate the data (which was compressed & deduplicated)?

What is your primary backup target?

Thanks

The primary target is a Physical Device with attached Flash-Storage

How can I get the deduplication and the compression data.
I don't see it in the report.

Hello!

You can get a a quick overview if you look at your repositories in the VBR console.

Have look on "Capacity", "Free" and "Used" on the right.

In my example i have a ReFS volume with capacity savings enabled.
The volume is 60TB in size, but we have logically stored 188TB on it!
So a very good 3:1 ratio.
Result of compression and synthetic fulls with fastclone.
