Generating an Online File Summary Report
Use the Online File Summary tool to scan the backup sets created by your DS-Client. It generates a list of the files on the DS-System online vault. This is useful for identifying duplicate files that are being backed up. You can reduce backup traffic and online storage with this information.
To generate an Online File Summary report:
1. On the Reports menu, click Online File Summary.
2. Click Find.
The process scans all the backup files on DS-System based on the Filter. For each row a file is only counted once, even if there a re multiple generations of the file.
3. Select a line in the Summary, and then click Details.
In the Details dialog box, each line represents a unique file. If more than one copy exists, the duplication amount is indicated in that column.
4. Select a file from the list, and then click Show Duplicates.
The location of each duplicate file is shown in this dialog box.
5. Click Close when you are finished.
