Counting Requests for Every Backup Plan
Problem
Your cloud storage provider sent you a monthly bill and a detailed explanation of your charges.
Storage may account for 60-70% of the entire bill.
The rest of a bill are various paid requests to a storage provider. They can be: PUT, GET, HEAD, DELETE, and other storage requests.
Solution
To have better visibility on what you consume from the storage provider’s subscription, we’ve made this setting in our Backup Agent.
- Open enginesettings.list file with any text editor. This file is located at:
- For standalone Backup for Windows: C:\ProgramData\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup\enginesettings.list
- For Backup Agent as a part of Managed Backup solution, a path depends on the name of the product with a custom name. In any case, it is located in ProgramData folder as well. Example: for the Company ABC - C:\ProgramData\Company ABC\enginesettings.list
- In enginesettings.list find the following parameter:
<LogRequestsOnExit>false</LogRequestsOnExit>
- Change the parameter value to true:
<LogRequestsOnExit>true</LogRequestsOnExit>
- Run the plan.
- In the Tools menu, click Diagnostic, then Open in folder.
- Find and open the latest modified file with .log extension (file name is your backup plan ID).
- In the end of the file find the following records:
2016-12-15 14:02:35,207 [SERV] [1] NOTICE - Uploaded: 2(769 KB). Deleted: 0. Failed: 0
