Show "Space Used" in Backup Jobs section

Serb shared this idea 21 days ago
Under Consideration

Can you add another column in Backup Jobs section that will show "space used" by each backup job, so that we have an idea how much space all these backups are taking up?

Right now I have to run Unix commands on each Jetbackup folder to figure out how much space they're using, and then I gotta figure out how to match each folder name to a backup job manually... every single time.

A simple column showing space usage would be a lot easier (so that we can adjust how many backups to keep, in case certain jobs are taking up more space than others).

Hello Serb,

Thank you for submitting your feature request. Please note that we utilize the voting system in order to gauge the amount of interest in a feature. The more votes a request has, the more likely our developers are to consider it.

Additionally, the backup directory for each backup job can be identified on the destination by their unique Backup Job ID found using the listBackupJobs API (i.e. /{Backup DIrectory}/jetbackup_x_x_{Backup_Job_ID})

Best Regards,

The JetApps Team

That's all fine and dandy, but I would expect this feature to be built into the interface itself, easily found and referenced, and not requiring mental gymnastics from me or using the API somehow or something just to get something this simple looked up.
