The Storage report provides information about all configured backup storage, and displays a graphical and tabular view of this information. A pie chart displays a snapshot of the current information, and a bar graph displays information over the last thirty days.
When finished, click < Report Categories in the upper-left of the report to return to the Storage category of the Available Reports page.
An example report is given here. Refer to the table below for a description of the available report columns. Not all columns display by default. To customize your output, click the accordion icon to the right of the column header. (See To customize a report for details.)
