Purpose
Monitor the storage statistics of Vmware machine backup.
Description
Navigate to Statistics > Storage Insights > VMware to view the storage statistics of backed-up VMware machines. The VMware tab of the Backup Statistics section below offers storage insight at the individual machine level.
Backup Statistics
The backup statistics lists every backed-up VMware server, along with its total storage utilization and the number of virtual machines backed up from the server. Click next to a server name to view the storage statistics of individual VMs in that server.
The backup statistics information lists the following parameters for every VM in that server:
Hostname - The default or assigned name of the virtual machine.
Data Size - Displays the actual storage space utilization, which is far less than the original VM size. The IDrive BMR device employs the de-duplication mechanism and compression in the backend to optimize the storage space.
File restore - Displays either highlighted or unhighlighted checkmark, to indicate whether or not it has a mounted file restore session.
Virtualization - Displays either highlighted or unhighlighted checkmark, to indicate whether or not the machine has a mounted virtual instance.
Cloud replication - Displays either highlighted or unhighlighted checkmark, to indicate whether or not the backup of the machine is enabled for cloud replication.
Click corresponding to the log of a virtual machine to view and manage its recovery point.
