Abstract
A plurality of different views of data associated with a storage domain stored on a deduplicated storage are traversed to determine data chunks belonging to each view of the plurality of different views of data associated with the storage domain. A request for a metric associated with disk space utilization of a group of one or more selected views of data included in the plurality of different views of data associated with the storage domain that are stored on the deduplicated storage is received. Data chunks belonging to the one or more selected views of data associated with the storage domain of the group but not other views of the plurality of different views of data associated with the storage domain that are stored on the deduplicated storage are identified. An incremental disk space utilization of the group is determined, including by determining a total size of the identified data chunks. The metric associated with disk space utilization is provided based on the determined incremental disk space utilization of the group.
