**OLD** - VBR: The Veeam Size Estimater (VSE)

The VSE calculator is supplied as a free tool to make quick estimations over multiple workloads scattered over multiple sites. It can be used in a basic 2 Site (or datacenters) Design or can be configured to simulate a complex multi-site architecture hosting different workloads. It focuses on 3 main outputs...

• Compute Requirements: CPU and Memory calculations for data processing by Veeam Components

• Repository Requirements: Disk usage and/or object storage to store Veeam Backups

• Transactions Usages: To add object or update object in Object storage, API calls are required. These API calls are generally called "transactions" and they are important for cost sizing of object storage

**NO LONGER MAINTAINED** - VBR: The Veeam Size Estimation Tool

The Veeam Size Estimation Tool

• Best used for management requirements, repository capacities, and per-site proxy and repository requirements (CPU, RAM, storage, etc...).

• NOTE the option to import data from RVTools (see below).

• "Quick tip: If you want to calculate ONLY using Cloud as a copy target for offsite data - do not turn on Capacity Tier under Workload settings - then go to the Object tab and you can select the Copy Only mode."

• SQL Express is bundled with Veeam. Consider using the full blown SQL if you are protecting more than 500 VMs or using files to tape extensively.
