Any progress ?

I don't find anything in the API to get the snapshot size. I've no idea where the UI or PowerCLI get this information :-/

@mariolenz I believe you need to start from the size in vim.vm.FileLayoutEx.FileInfo of each delta file from vm_moref.config.layoutEx.file. The file type must be 'snapshotData' (from vim.vm.FileLayoutEx.FileType).

Unfortunately, I now do not have access to my VI laboratory and will not be able to write working code without it.
