Capacity Report

This report depicts the maximum capacity the system can use to store the last successful full and bare metal backup types from each of its protected clients and applications. The capacity limit ensures the system has enough available space to store new backups before purging older ones.

The information you see varies based on your selection in the Navigation pane. See the following for details:

This field displays in the bottom portion of the screen and includes the sums of the values in each column.

System Capacity Report Summary

The following fields display in the bottom portion of the screen:

• Total Systems: Number of backup systems replicating to the target.
• Capacity: Total maximum last backup capacity of all replicating systems combined.
• Instant Recovery Space Used: Instant recovery spaced used on all replicating systems combined.
• Total Used Including IR Space: Total last backup space used for all replicating systems combined, including instant recovery space.

Backup system information

Each row of the report may contain the following information if a backup system is selected in the navigation pane. Note that you only see backup types that you use.

You can select a client in the Navigation pane to filter these results at the client-level. (If you choose to view the results at the client-level, the System Capacity Report Summary section at the bottom of the screen displays information for the backup system.)
