    Allocated disk capacity and actual occupied capacity

    When I allocated disk space for a virtual machine, I found that the actual space occupied was 107% of the space I allocated.

    [SOLVED] Real size of diskspace used in backups

    Is there a way to get the real value of how much disk space is used per server backup?
