Check total vault size

Question

Hi all,

Is there a quick way on how we can see the current vault size. One way i can think of is by performing the full backup but this will consume some storage.
Is there any other way we can see the current vault size. In this context, this is on-prem environment.

For the vault database size, see the support article How to check the metadata size of the vault . 
 For the file data, one option is using the Reporting module: Calculating file data size using reporting and data export in M-Files 
 If you have access to the server where the vaults are hosted and the vault is using Firebird as the database engine, I suppose you could also check the size of the vault directory in Windows Explorer. You can find the location in the vault properties in M-Files Admin (see the first support article linked above).
