Credits and Storage

This Credits and Storage section provides the administrator with the values associated with the following fields:

Summary

Credit Balance: The current balance of credits available for consumption. Hover over the value to view the breakdown of Current Term Credit Balance and Future Term Credit Balance (if any).
Total Source + Changes: The amount of data modified, added, or deleted at the source during incremental backups. It provides a statistical insight for the data at the source with respect to the first full and subsequent incremental backups. It also displays the breakdown of the Total Source + Changes data for Hybrid Workloads and Cloud Native Workloads.
Total Current Source Data: Size of data on the source servers as of the last backup. The current time is the time as seen in the Last Updated field. It also displays the breakdown of Total Current Source data for Hybrid Workloads and Cloud Native Workloads.
Total Storage Consumed: Actual Druva storage post deduplication. It also displays the breakdown of Estimated Storage Consumed for Hybrid Workloads and Cloud Native Workloads.
Dedupe Savings: The ratio of space used on traditional backup storage to Cloud Storage.
LTR Savings (Last 90 days): Displays the total number of credits saved over the last 90 days by enabling Long Term Retention (LTR) features.
Archive Savings (Last 90 days): Displays the total number of credits saved over the last 90 days by utilizing Archive storage.

📝 Note
The Cloud Native Workloads include Azure VMs, Azure SQL, and EC2 resources.

The Consumption Insights section also provides various filters, such as Duration, Resource Types, and Organizations, to view the trends of consumption via the following graphs.

📝 Note
The Organization field is displayed only if an organization is enabled.

Credits and Storage Consumption

Use the Term dropdown to analyze your usage over different periods. While the graph defaults to your current contract term, you can also explore future or historical terms. If no specific contract terms are available, the view will default to your activity from the Last 90 days.

How to read the graph

The graph uses a timeline (x-axis) to track your Credit Balance and Storage Consumed (y-axis). Here is how to read the different elements:

Baseline Credit Balance (Dashed Line): This represents your planned credit usage based on the credit sizing performed during your contract.
Actual Credit Balance (Solid Line): This tracks your real-time Druva credit consumption.
Storage Consumed (Shaded Area): This background area represents the volume of storage used throughout the term.

What is baseline?

The baseline represents your planned credit consumption for the term. It is derived from the finalized credit sizing agreed upon by your organization and Druva during the contract phase.

By comparing your actual consumption against this baseline, you can visually track any deviations from your original planned consumption.

You can review the agreed-upon credit sizing at any time on the Consumption Insights page by navigating to the three-dots menu (⋮) > View Credit Sizing Details.

You can also export these details from the Credit Sizing Details page in CSV or PDF formats.

Whenever a new credit sizing occurs (for a contract renewal or additional credit purchases within the same term), the baseline is automatically updated according to the new credit sizing, and the finalized credit sizing output is also available for review on the Analytics page.

As shown below in the Credits and Storage Consumption graph, you can hover your mouse over any point on the baseline to trigger a tooltip. This provides the exact actual vs. planned credit balance and storage values for that specific day.

📝 Note

A baseline will not be displayed if a credit sizing assessment has not been completed or officially recorded for your account. Contact Support to have your baseline enabled.

Source + Changes Data

This graph illustrates the total source + changes data size for the selected duration and segregated based on the selected resource types and organizations. It has the timeline on the x-axis and the source + changes data size on the y-axis. Each resource type has a different color associated with it.
You can hover the mouse pointer over a point in the graph to view data size for each resource type on a certain date as shown in the following screenshot.

Current Source Data

This graph illustrates the trend of the current source data size for the selected duration, resource types, and organizations. You can also view the newly added backup sets, the total number of backup sets, and the total current source data. The total number of backup sets are segregated into the different resource types. This graph has the timeline on the x-axis and the number of backup sets and the current source data size on the y-axis.

The green marker on the x-axis of the graph indicates that one or more events have occurred at that point in the timeline. You can hover the mouse pointer over the marker to view the number of events on that day.

Upon hovering the mouse pointer over a bar, you can view the date and the number of backup sets of each selected resource type.

Backup Sets

All Backup Sets

The Backup Sets tab of Consumption Insights section, provides a list of all the backup sets for the selected resource types and organizations. The number of backup sets listed here matches the number of backup sets in the Current Source Data graph. You can click the icon on the top right to switch from tabular view to tree view and vice versa. The two views are described as follows:

Tabular view: The tabular view has the following columns:
- Backup set: The name of the resource; for example, server 1.
- Organization: The name of the organization associated with the backup set; for example, Default organization.
- Current Source: The size of the data on the server at the time of the last backup.
- Source + Changes: A visual indication of the contribution of the backup set to the source + changes data size. By default, this column is sorted in descending order of the source + changes data size.
- Average Change Rate: The average value of change rates for the entire lifetime of the backup set. Change rate, change rate percentage, and average change rate percentage are explained as follows:
  - Change rate is the change in the storage consumed per day for each backup set. Change rate in Druva is calculated based on the incremental source data contributed by a backup set on a daily basis, which could span multiple backups. This data is accounted for in the source + changes statistics for each backup set. Change rate is formulated on a daily basis based on the difference between the source + changes of two consecutive days.
  - Change rate percentage is calculated on the basis of the change rate calculated between two consecutive days with respect to the current source of the previous day. This indicates the amount of data changed on the source on a per day basis. Change rate percentage is the value of {change rate for a day/source data} * 100.
  - Average change rate percentage is the average of change rate percentages for the entire lifetime of the backup set.
- Average Growth Rate: The average value of growth rate for the entire lifetime of the backup set. Growth Rate, Growth Rate Percentage, and Average Growth Rate Percentage are explained as follows:
  - Growth Rate: Growth Rate is calculated based on the Current Source data of a backup set on a daily basis. Growth Rate is the change in the current source data per day for each backup set.
  - Growth Rate Percentage: Growth Rate Percentage is calculated based on the Growth Rate calculated between two consecutive days with respect to the current source of the previous day.
    Growth Rate Percentage = (Current Source - Previous day Current Source) * 100 / Previous day Current Source.
  - Average Growth Rate Percentage: Average growth rate percentage is the average of growth rate percentages for the entire lifetime of the backup set.
- Estimated Storage Consumed: The estimation of the storage that will be consumed by the backup set based on previous storage consumption insights.
- Retention: The retention period defined for the backup set; for example, 14D, 4W, 3M, 3Y.
- Number of recovery points: The number of recovery points in the backup of a backup set.
Tree map view: This view shows the source + changes and the average change rate distribution of all the backup sets. The areas are color-coded based on the selected resource type types and the gradient in the color represents the relative value of the average change rate, the darkest being the highest. The sizes of the rectangles are calculated by the size of the source + changes data. Each rectangle represents a backup set.
Hover over each rectangle to view the details of the backup set as shown below:
