How to Retrieve Backup Item Size for a Specific VM in RSV?

Question

I'm trying to estimate the costs of a backup item in RSV to identify cost-saving opportunities. To do that, I need the storage used data for a specific backup item. There's an API that provides the Cloud Backup Storage Used, but that only gives data for the entire RSV. Is there a way to extract storage data for a certain backup item?
