Storage Trends report

This FSA Reporting report provides information on storage growth trends for FSA archiving targets on the chosen file server. You can generate a report showing trends on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.

Note:

The SQL Server Agent service must be running for this report to include any data.

The report shows trends in:

  • Active disk storage size (storage on the file server)

  • Enterprise Vault archive storage size

You can use the trend data from these reports to estimate when the storage capacity is likely to be exceeded both on the file server and within the vault store

If you have configured FSA Reporting to scan all physical drives of a file server, the report includes data for the physical drives.

If Enterprise Vault is not archiving a volume, the report includes only the trending information for the file server's disk storage.

Table: Report input parameters shows the parameters that you specify for this report.

Table: Report input parameters

Parameter

Lets you do this

Site Name

Select an Enterprise Vault site.

Domain Name

Select a domain.

Server Name

Select a server.

Period

Select the data period to use. For example, a monthly period shows changes in size on a monthly basis.

For a Weekly period, the maximum time span for the reporting period is 12 months.

Note:

If you select a Weekly period but the FSA Reporting data collection interval for the target is set to Monthly, then the report shows a data point only once each month, for the week in which the scan happened

Start Year

Select the start year for the reporting period.

Start Month

Select the start month for the reporting period.

End Year

Select the end year for the reporting period.

End Month

Select the end month for the reporting period.

Display Sizes In

Select the units in which to display the storage data sizes.

The report displays storage trends as a graph and a table for each archiving target over the reporting period.

Table: Report output: trend data shows the information that both the graph and the table provide on the trends for each arching target.

Table: Report output: trend data

Item

Description

Size on Disk

File server disk storage size, in the chosen units.

Size in Archive (units)

The "Size in Archive" value reflects only those items that are archived from Enterprise Vault 8.0 onwards. The size of archived items was not recorded before Enterprise Vault 8.0.

This data does not take into account any storage savings due to Enterprise Vault single instance storage. The "Single Instance Storage Reduction" operation reports include information on the actual space that is occupied in the Enterprise Vault archives.

Combined Storage

Combined file server and archive storage space, in the chosen units.

Table: Report output: averages data shows the averages data that the report includes in the bottom two rows of the table.
