Storage Info for: [...]
This dialog box shows the storage properties of individual files on the DS-System.
 
File List
Gen
(Excluding Library File Headers)
Shows the corresponding file generation.
Backup Time
Shows the time that the file was backed up.
Last Modified
Shows the time that the file was last edited.
File Type
Shows the DS-System online file type of file that was backed up.
Regular
Master
Delta
Public Library
Customer Library
Client Library
Archived: Means the corresponding generation has been ‘pushed’ to the BLM Archiver, and only a small (~1K) stub remains online.
Link ID
(Excluding Library File Headers)
Two types of links may be shown:
Master/Delta File: If 0, no other generation depends on this one. If a number appears, it is the Generation ID of the next generation in the (delta) chain.
Library File: This is the ID of the DS-Library file.
Flags
Shows the corresponding backup options that have been applied to this particular file. These options correspond to the following key:
P = Permissions
S = Backup Streams
G = Digital Signature
M = Master File
D = Delta
E = Extended Attributes (NetWare)
B = Bindery (NetWare)
N = NDS (NetWare)
R = Registry (Windows)
X = POSIX
Attr
Shows the attributes of the backed up file.
R = Read Only
H = Hidden
S = System
A = Archive
C = Compressed
D = Directory
Size (Bytes)
Shows the original size of the file.
DS Size (Bytes)
Shows the actual size of the file, as stored on the DS-System.
Stream Size (Bytes)
Shows the full transmission size of the file (including file security, permissions, streams, etc.).
Encryption
Shows the type of encryption being used on the file (if any) and any extended information.
Encryption type: type and strength of the encryption (e.g. DES56, AES128, AES192, AES256)
Compression
Shows the type of compression being used on the file.
Archive ID
Shows the corresponding archive package number for the generation.
Archive Time
Time when the corresponding generation was “pushed” to BLM from online. If there is a date in this field, this generation has been Archived (it cannot be restored from DS-System, only from a BLM Restorable Image).
Verify Link
(Excluding Library File Headers)
Click to verify the link of the selected generation from the list. This confirms that DS-System can find the backup data required by the selected generation:
If it is a Library, check that the library exists.
If it is a Delta, check that the required blocks in previous generation file(s) exist.
If it is a Master or Regular file, check that the source file exists.
Optimize
(Master generations only)
Click to optimize the selected Master in the File Generation List:
DS-System will try to optimize the Master at the block-level (it may achieve slightly better de-duplication than the DS-Client).
If the preceding generation is also a Master, DS-System will convert the Master you are optimizing into a Delta that depends on it.
Restore
Click to try to restore the selected generation in the File Generation List:
Opens the "File Restore" dialog box.
