Table: Report output: table data

Item

Description

File Group

The name of the file group.

To see details for a file group on a per volume basis, expand the file group.

Volume

Volume details are shown if you expand a file group in the File Group column. To see details for individual file types, expand the volume.

File Types

File type details are shown if you expand a volume in the Volume column.

The report includes combined data for all the file types that are not in any file group. To view this combined data, expand "Others" in the File Group column and see the details for file type "misc".

See Obtaining data for a specific file type in the FSA Reporting reports.

To view the hundred largest files of a file type in a volume, click a file type link.

See Largest Files of a Specified File Type Per Volume report.

Number of Files

The number of files of this file group on this server, including shortcuts.

Note that the column records placeholders and Internet shortcuts differently, as follows:

  • Placeholders are listed in the file group of the original file.

  • Internet shortcuts are listed as Internet files.

Number of Archived Files

The number of files of this file group that have been archived.

Original Size (units)

The estimated amount of space that would be occupied on the file server if Enterprise Vault had not archived any files.

File Server Space Used (units)

The space that the unarchived files and any shortcuts for the archived files occupy on the file server.

Space Saved (units)

The estimated amount of space that is saved on the file server as a result of archiving.

Note that the "Active Space Usage by File Group" chart and the "Number of files" column classify placeholder and Internet shortcuts as follows:

  • A placeholder is classified as belonging to the file group of the original file.

  • An Internet shortcut is classified as an Internet file.

Note that the "Original Size" and "Space Saved" values are estimates. The estimation process assumes that the archived files are not present on the file server or that shortcuts represent the archived files. The estimates are not accurate if users recall archived files to the file server, or if archived files remain on the file server. Archived files may remain on the file server if either of the following applies:

  • The archiving policy uses the shortcut creation option "Create shortcut later".

  • The vault store is configured so that safety copies are removed after backup or replication, or so that safety copies are never removed.
