How to determine storage usage of each snapshot?

General Topics
1

I’m trying to get more detail on how the storage in my repository is being used, so that as it runs out of space, I know what will be most impactful for reducing storage usage.

As far as I can tell, snapshot list tells the size of the snapshot (how much space the backed up files took up at the time they were backed up) but not how much storage the actual snapshot is using after accounting for deduplication.

Is there any way to get to the actual storage usage for each snapshot?

With many snapshots and versions for each snapshot, I’m struggling to map these to their storage usage.

Unfortunately answering the question is quite hard precisely because of deduplicaton.

kopia snapshot ls --storage-stats should print incremental size each snapshot used compared to the previous one.

new-data tells you the size of data that is in new snapshot when compared to previously listed snapshots.
