+1Hello Veeam Community,
If customer have 500gb left in their datastore, how can I know or compute If how many days/months the 500gb will be? Assuming the daily trend average backup size is 900gb definitely it will reduce since there is dedup and compress in Veeam and have forever incremental sched. Thanks

Look a the size of your vib files for today.
Do the easy calculation:
500GB / „Size of daily vib“ = days left
This will not be very accurate, but it could be enough to have a idea how long the storage will last.
+23Hi
You can put in your source data size, estimated deduplication and compression, and specify your retention, it’s a good guideline and includes some working space.
+11Assuming your “datastore” word is related to repository, can you clarify your question?

Additionally it depends on the filesystem you are using. But even that you can select at the site m

Yes definitely check this one out as it is a great tool for these types of calculations. Also if you have access to Veeam ONE there are some reports in there also for storage and repository spacing. It will also estimate time remaining for a repo IIRC.

I used that tool in sizing the veeam, but for my scenario, need to know or compute If how many days/months the 500gb will be? Assuming the daily trend average backup size is 900gb definitely it will reduce since there is dedup and compress in Veeam and have forever incremental sched and have retention of 30D. :)

If you install veeamone there is a report called "Capacity Planning for Backup Repositories".
