Full Backup - How much space is needed for it?
Is there a way to know how much space will be required to perform this full backup? I ask because my space is limited on some servers so I'm hesitant to run it until I find out how much space is required.
Here is what the event is:
There is no full backup available, please run engine-backup to prevent data loss in case of corruption.

Hi Roy,
Thank you for your inquiry, for Backups it can be difficult to say how much space will be required as every customers use is different especially policies you might have in place for frequency/retention/rotation/etc. You can always see your systems real-time database size by running the following command:
# /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/engine-psql.sh -c "\l+;"
From here you should see the different databases and their existing sizes before backup/compression.
For how to properly backup please ensure to review:
