HI,
With deduplication that is a little difficult to estimate/calculate. In a normal (non deduplicated) setup you would have X backups that run per day and they take up X GB/TB of space (tape or non-dedupe disk).
Becuase you're deduplicating you;re getting a getting X GB/TB * dedupe factor, but the dedupe factor varies for each backup taken.
You could login to the appliance and run the deuplication report, that would show you the increase/decrease in actual space used. the protected size (assume you didn't have dedupe). Also keep in mind that images expire daily so that complicates as well.
