Description

This is a follow up of this issue below, but I was told to come here instead:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues/20910

I want to know the size of recovery point of backups items that you can find here:
https://portal.azure.com/#blade/HubsExtension/BrowseResource/resourceType/Microsoft.RecoveryServices%2Fvaults%2FbackupFabrics%2FprotectionContainers%2FprotectedItems

In the same sense I would like to know the backup size of long term retention of SQL Server instances:
https://portal.azure.com/#@REDACTED/resource/subscriptions/REDACTED/resourceGroups/test/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/mssqldb-server/longTermRetentionV2 (I redacted my account names from this)

We want to be able to analyze the backups we have and see which ones can be dropped. I am fetching data with the SDK

Regards,

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Azure SDK issue 20910 and the REST API specifications for Recovery Services recovery points and SQL Server long-term retention. Done means the relevant API descriptions expose backup or recovery-point sizes for both requested areas.
