Is there a way to get better reporting for usage on hardened repositories? I recently had a Wasabi issue after upgrading to 12 and our console was showing 29.7tb’s of usage which is right under our 30tb bucket. Actual bucket size was 128tb which lead to additional billing.
Have you looked in to Veeam ONE as a possible solution and test the reporting available? The reports within the Veeam console are minimal unless you want to dive in the PowerShell or use the API.

Hi
Wasabi is not a hardened repository. Hardened repositories run on a linux machine and are block based backup storages, while Wasabi is an object storage based backup storage.
If no other backup server is writing to the same bucket, it may be a know issues with obsolete deletion markers or orphaned objects.
We can check what‘s going on and provide a solution if you open a case with our customer support.

Hardened repositories are using XFS as the filesystem.
XFS provides FastClone support with the help of the reflink feature. We reference existing blocks instead of duplicating them when you synthesize a full backup file. This makes synthetic full backup file almost spaceless. Less physical storage is used, but Veeam still shows the file size of all full backup files and immutable files. It‘s because the XFS filesystem on top of the volume reports us the file size of the backup files and ignores the space savings by the XFS filesystem.
It is a known request that our customers want to see the real physical storage usage with space savings in the Veeam console. We are looking i to this request but there is no ETA when we can deliver this information.
Best,
Fabian
If you are a service provider, you may check out this topic in our RnD forum:
