running a report to see what monthly backup would use space wise

Hello @backing up active directory 

You can use the Jobs On Storage Policy Copies report.

Jobs in Storage Policy Copies Report Overview - https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/40080_jobs_in_storage_policy_copies_report_overview.html

Thank you,

In Command Center run the “License Usage By Jobs” report. What is good about this report is that if you sort by “Job Start Time” you may see a number of old jobs consuming licenses, if these backups are no longer required you could look at releasing the license or disabling activity at subclient level and this will release the license space
