Generating a Storage Summary Report
A Storage Summary Report is a tool that helps you to analyze the trends for online amount, number of files and backup time. There are two types of statistics: primary (such as online, files, and backup files) and derived (all of the incremental amounts). A primary figure reflects a real number obtained from the statistics. A derived statistic is linked to a primary one (for example: Incremental Files is linked to Files), and is obtained by subtracting the previous statistic from the current one.
NOTE:  This report uses the storage information from the last Daily Admin process.
During administrative processes, the DS‑Client calculates the following:
 
Time statistics (in minutes)
Average Time
Average duration of all scheduled and on-demand backup sessions for the selected period.
Actual Time
Total duration of all scheduled and on-demand backup sessions for the selected period.
 
File statistics
Total Files
The total number of files stored Online (including all generations)
Incremental Files
This is a derived figure, showing the increment to the Total files.
New Files
The total number of new backed up files (files backed up for the first time).
Backup Files
The total number of files backed up for the selected period.
Incremental Backup Files
This is a derived figure, showing the increment to the Backup Files.
 
Amount statistics (MB)
Total Online
The total amount stored Online.
Incremental Online
This is a derived figure, showing the increment to the Total Online.
New Online
The total amount for the new backed up files.
Transmitted
The total amount of data transmitted to DS‑System (includes the effects of compression, DS‑Delta and DS‑Library technologies.)
Incremental Transmitted
This is a derived figure, showing the increment to the Transmitted amount.
Online Backup
The total amount of data backed up for the selected period.
Incremental Online Backup
This is a derived figure showing the increment to Online Backup.
