Hi Team,
I have an interesting scenario.
After a lot of persuasion, one of our customers is considering a retention-reduction on non-critical data.
But they have asked me if I can work out how much disk space may be returned by this process.
The data is deduplicated. So the question I have:-
Does anyone know of a report which can show disk space returned for deduplicated data?
This might not be as straightforward as it sounds, since I will need to work with 20 or 30 clients, delete data that is over than a few months old but somehow collect details on expected space-savings, or disk-space to be returned.
it would be interesting to hear if anyone else has had a similar scenario and how you managed to obtain the figures (if this is actually possible).
Thanks
Forecasting returning space for deduplicated data

hello
To forecast returning space, it’s actually easy at first. We have 3 key terminologies to understand
1.Application Size: This refers to the size of the data you need to back up, before any processes like deduplication or compression are applied. It's also called Front-End Terabytes.
2.Backup Size: This includes both the data files and the associated metadata.
3.Data Written: This is the size of the data actually stored on the media (whether on disk or tape), taking into account factors like deduplication and compression.
I recommend this report; it will provide you with all the information you need.
