How to calculate backed data volume on Replication / SPPArchive / Cloud storage?

Hallo
Backed up date is storing on BACKUP vsnap and then are copied to REPLCATION VSNAP (and maybe Cloud, SPPArchive/tape)  

We can easily calculate size of backed up date on BACKUP vsnap based on output from this endpoint: "/api/endeavour/catalog/recovery/hypervisorvm?embed=%28children%28properties%29%29"
(similar as is on done in sppclient library, https://github.com/IBM/sppclient sppclirnt/samples/vmware_chargeback.py)

Big question is, how ho calculate transferred data (replicated) from BACKUP to REPLICATION vsnap / SPPARCHIVE?
 

Consider backup date flow like this:  Backup -> replication -> spparchive.

We assume, that:
- backup-replication-process is broken in some steps (e.g. replication or archive jobs failed for some reason).
- BACKUP and REPLICA have the same retention.
- ARCHIVE is longer.

As we see, there sis different usage of disk space for backup and replication vsnap.
