What I can't see (wether in pbs nor in the email reports) is detailed information which vm has backupped how many gigs per day / week / month...

Is this planned for future versions?
 
Hi,
the backup task log will contain information about logical reused and total size for a backup.

If you are referring to the actual storage usage on the proxmox backup server, then this information is not available, as the physical used vs. logical size of a backup snapshot can significantly differ as the data chunks are deduplicated. Multiple snapshots can/will logically reference the same physically stored chunk.

The garbage collection will however show you this for the whole datastore, given also the deduplication ratio.
 
But i have to take a deepdive into the logs to see this... it should be visible in the dashboard. ...

Like in other backup programs... ups... did I say that out loud? :p
