Drive Performance Summary Report

Explore your data center using customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. Use Search to find reports, templates and dashboards across the portal.

Use the Reports tab to examine the catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:

Backup Manager > Storage Utilization Reports > Drive Performance Summary

This report also can be generated via a link in the following report.

See Drive Utilization & Performance Report .

This report provides high-level drive details for the reporting period that you specified in the scope.

See Report Scope .

Note:

If you are accessing this report from the navigation pane, be sure to define a host group scope that is unique by product type--for example, only NetBackup servers. Also, this report is not supported for Veritas Backup Exec or IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) data because data collection does not capture the association between backup jobs and tapes.
