Working with reports : Generating a Statistical Summary Report
 
Generating a Statistical Summary Report
This report shows usage statistics. It is particularly useful in conjunction with the Statistical Backup Set feature (see “Statistical backup sets”).
To generate a Statistical Summary report:
1. On the Reports menu, click Statistical Summary.
F1 Help: "Print Statistical Summary"
2. In the Statistical Summary dialog box, select the information you want to see in the report. For details on these options, see the F1 help for the dialog box.
3. If the Multi-Tenant feature is enabled and configured, you can select the customer for which you want to generate the report. The report will only display data for the backup sets associated with the customer.
4. Click OK to see a preview of the report.
5. To print the report, click the printer icon. To export the report to a file, click the Save icon, and select the export format (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.) and destination.
The report contains the following information:

• Statistical backup sets allow you to estimate the potential storage those backup would occupy.
• Self contained and Local-Only backup sets perform backup and restore using only the local storage path (on the Setup menu, click Configuration, and then click Parameters).
• Local DS-VDR backup sets do not show any DS-System data storage or transmission amounts, since they do not apply.

New Files
Shows the total number of new files backed up on the corresponding day.
• #: Number of new files
• Amount (MB): Amount of data (MB) in the new files
Backed Up Files

• Transmitted (MB): Total size of files transmitted (this only includes the successfully transmitted amount)
