This is a feature request to have the option for a new column in the "Jobs" view in B&R.
I would like to be able to see/sort my backups by size.
Would it be possible to have the option for a new column in the "Jobs" view so that I can quickly see at a glance how much data/disk size is selected for a certain job?
Thanks for considering,

Re: Feature Request: Total Size Column in Jobs view
Hi Diablo, welcome to the forums.
Thank you for the request, a few clarifying questions if I may:
1. You mention see/sort the backups by size, but you also mention the Jobs view -- are you interested in seeing:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/r ... ml?ver=120
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/r ... ml?ver=120
For example, backup billing here provides a pretty nice report by machine, and the backup files growth report will break it down in a number of ways (top 10 jobs by size, repositories + jobs by size, etc)
Thank you for the request, a few clarifying questions if I may:
1. You mention see/sort the backups by size, but you also mention the Jobs view -- are you interested in seeing:
- The size of all objects added to a given job so you can sort jobs by the amount of data they are backing up?
- The size of all backup files (summed) produced by a given job?

Re: Feature Request: Total Size Column in Jobs view
Hi,
Thanks for your responds.
1: Ideally both but I was specifically referring to the first option.
2: In our environments we have jobs that range from a few hundred Gb to dozens of Tb that we are backing up.
At the moment when we want to change something for all jobs of a tenant or need to do maintenance, to identify those jobs that can be done quickly I would open/edit the job, go to objects, check out the total size, and close it again.
I would have to do this for all jobs individually.
It would be nice to have that information at a glance from the jobs overview page.
Unfortunately we do not have Veeam One as my employer does not want ot upgrade just yet.
Hope this helps.
