Creating Storage Consumption Reports

In this article

    Storage Consumption reports show statistical information on used space in backup or object storage repositories.

    Each report consists of the following fields and shows information per repository.

    Field

    Description

    Description

    Shows a description of the report.

    Reporting Interval

    Shows the time interval for which the report was generated.

    License Information

    Shows the product name and a license type.

    Summary

    Shows occupied storage space of all backup repositories added to the scope.

    Top 5 repositories by storage usage

    Shows top 5 repositories the backup data on which occupies the most disk space.

    Top 5 repositories by growth

    Shows top 5 repositories in which the space is occupied most frequently.

    Daily Change Rate (in GB)

    Information is shown per standalone backup repositories and backup repositories that were extended with object storage. For extended backup repositories, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 shows the following statistical information:

    • Used space that is occupied by cache.
    • Used space that is occupied by backup data in object storage.

    Repository Growth (in GB)

    Consider the following:

    • Repositories that have no statistical information will not be included in the report.

    No information is available when:

    Since nothing has been placed to a backup repository after it was added, no statistical information is available, therefore, this repository will not be included in the report.

    In this case, all backup repositories in your environment will be excluded from the report.

    • Repositories whose Daily Change and Total Size values are less than 10 MB will not be included in the report.

    For example, a report is said to be built starting from 01/01/2019 to 31/01/2019 and the period from 01/01/2019 to 09/01/2019 is empty (both the Daily Change and Total Size values are less than 10 MB). In this scenario, such a report will only be showing statistical information starting from 10/01/2019.

    To generate a report for each organization added to the scope, do the following:

    1. Open the Organizations view.
    2. On the Home tab, select Reports > Storage Consumption.
    3. Specify a time interval.
    4. Click Browse to specify a location to save the report.

    Use the Save as type drop-down list in the Save As dialog to specify the format (.pdf or .csv) in which to save the report.

    1. Select the Open report after publishing check box to open the generated report using the default application.
    2. Click Finish.

    I want to report a typo

    There is a misspelling right here:

     

    I want to let the Veeam Documentation Team know about that.
