Hello Community,

which approach do you use/recommend in order to gather all of the required information needed for the Veeam Calculator Object Storage/VDC Vault Sizing ?

Although I have a clear understanding of all of the required information needed for the Veeam Calculator, I am curious to check what are the recommendations in order to gather all of the required information from an existing VBR instance, such as a script/tool-based approach, manual information gathering and so on.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You can always use PowerShell as there are many “gathering” samples out there.  If you use Veeam ONE at all it has an Infrastructure report that gathers data as well.  Then there is the good old manual method.

I have seen scripts out there as Chris shared, but I haven’t searched for anything like that in quite some time so can’t share anything I’m aware of.

Hi Chris,

thank you for the reply.

With regards to Veeam ONE, do you refer to the predefined "Data Change Rate History" report ?

Thanks!
