You can track the capacity of managed storage assets. This
feature can be useful for storage planning during license renewal.
About this task
Typically there is a difference between the capacity that
is used by server data and the capacity of the volume that contains
that data. For example, a set of databases might require a capacity
of 1 GB and are on a 10 GB volume. When a snapshot of the volume is
performed, the
Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange managed
capacity measurement is 10 GB.
Procedure
To determine managed storage capacity:
- Select an Exchange instance from the Management Console.
- On the Protect tab, click Properties in
the Action pane.
- Select Managed Capacity from the
list of available property pages. The managed capacity
is calculated and displayed.
- View a list of the volumes that contain backups and their
respective managed capacities by clicking Show Details.
- Close this dialog window.
