How can you determine the additional disk space consumed by restored data?

The ability to determine the additional disk space consumed by restored data is most effectively accomplished by reviewing the "Check Size" option during the restore process. This option provides a specific metric related to the size of the data being restored, allowing you to ascertain how much disk space will be utilized once the restoration is complete.

This in-built feature is particularly helpful because it offers a direct and straightforward way to check the size of the data in question before it is restored. By utilizing this option, administrators can manage storage capacity more efficiently and avoid potential issues related to insufficient disk space.

Other methods might not provide the same level of detail or might require additional steps that can introduce complexity. For example, manually calculating space could result in errors, and seeking out disk usage in settings or index settings may not provide immediate insights into the specific restoration process. Thus, using the "Check Size" option stands out as the most reliable and efficient approach to understanding the impact of restored data on disk space.
