Veeam: How to obtain the full size of an Office 365 organization that you want to protect with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office v3.0

Greetings friends, I announced a few days ago that Veeam has announced Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v3.0, and with this new version many improvements, some already told you in the previous post, and others are somewhat more hidden between the RESTfulAPI and PowerShell. Today I come to talk about a Powershell cmdlet called Measure-VBOOrganizationFullBackupSize that will allow us to know information about the organization or organizations we want to protect, without having to go to the Admin Center and review one by one the elements, as I told you in this other post.

Measure-VBOOrganizationFullBackupSize at a glance

With this new cmdlet it will literally take us a few seconds to know the full size of the organizations we want to protect, is very useful when creating repositories, and even to divide repositories by applications for example, or tenants, etc.

Greetings friends, as many of you know Veeam includes for free Veeam Enterprise Manager in the Enterprise or Enterprise Plus editions. Veeam Enterprise Manager is a web portal that administrators, or delegated users, can access to perform different recovery operations, or for example create DataLabs requests as well.

Administration, management and execution of the Works of Veeam

Once we connect to our Veeam Enterprise Manager, we can see the option called JOBS, from here we can perform several operations, let's see them all.

Start, stop, retry and advanced options of Veeam jobs.
