Testing out PBS... so far I am liking it. It's not the greatest (especially in terms of agents), but definitely like the licensing/support model where it's not tied to either vm/agent or capacity.

Is there a way to easily tell the incremental unique size of backups? Under PBS on the datastore they always list the full size, and same checking under the vm in proxmox on the backup list. (Although numbers different units, ie: 966 GiB in pbs vs 1.04TB in proxmox).

The only place I was able to find the info was digging into the task per individual vm, which has a line such as (from a 60.13GiB vm):
INFO: backup was done incrementally, reused 52.18 GiB (93%)

Is there a trending report or an alternate way to see the amount of unique data per backup (ideally currently, or at least at time of backup?) Preferably from the PBS side instead of proxmox/vm side?
