Identifying AWS Backup Snapshot Sizes

0

Hello all, We regularly create RDS snapshots and AWS S3 snapshots using the AWS Backup service. Could you please advise on how to identify and determine the size of these snapshots? While exploring the Cost Explorer, I couldn't find specific options for this purpose. Are there alternative methods or procedures to effectively identify the size of AWS Backup snapshots pls? Thanks.

Here are three ways that might be of help - -

  1. Use Cost Explorer's custom reports:
  • Create a custom report with the cost category as "Backup Storage" to view AWS Backup storage costs.
  • This can give you an idea of the total storage being used, though doesn't show individual snapshot sizes.
  1. Use the AWS Backup console:
  • Go to the Backups section and select the backup plan you want to check.
  • This will show a list of all backups created by that plan.
  • You can see the storage size for each individual backup in that list.
  1. Use the AWS CLI:
  • Run aws backup list-backup-jobs to list all backup jobs.
  • Note down the backup job ID for the snapshots you want to check.
  • Then run aws backup describe-backup-job --backup-job-id <id> to see details on an individual backup, including the storage size.

  • Thank you for your response. Sorry, I couldn't locate the information using options 1 and 2. Interestingly, the AWS CLI command output shows "BackupSizeInBytes": 0, which is puzzling as my S3 backup snapshot clearly contains object content.

  • Thanks tedtrent, this has provided a clearer understanding of how snapshots are maintained, the associated storage & costs for backups.
