    I have had 3 different machines run full backups to the WHS.

     

    My WHS currently has 1 HD at 160GB. The available diskspace in WHS console shows 130GB free out of 152GB, with 6GB taking up space for backups. I find this hard to believe when i ran a full backup of 72GB of data from one machine as well as 16GB of data from another. I understand the Single Instance Storage technology, however when i RDP into the WHS and I look at the available space on the hard disk via Windows Explorer, it represents a more accurate size, 52Gb FREE and about 100GB used.

     

    Anyone have any insight on this?

    The report of space consumed by backups is known to be wildly inaccurate in this version. So it's a bug, but one that Microsoft already knows about and (presumably) has a fix for in a later version.
