BRMS Media information size

BRMS Media information size - I would like BRMS to present the space used for tracking current backup history information for a specific control group based on different media retention's (daily, weekly, monthly, etc).


Use Case:

Knowing the size of the BRMS history being stored for my backups would be useful in a couple of ways. 1) It could help me evaluate how much storage BRMS is using to store object level detail. 2) It would help me analyze what I could save if I changed my strategy for needed to store object level detail for older retention media.

    The BRMS team does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.
