Units of Measure in Reports

For certain reports, an Advanced option in the scope selector enables the selection of the unit of measure--MBytes, GBytes, or TBytes.

If you notice a discrepancy in the values reported by the Portal reports versus the values you see in the backup product itself, this is likely due to the conversion of the units of measure.

When 1024 is used for calculations, it refers to binary multiples: kibibyte (KiB), mebibyte (MiB), gibibyte (GiB), tebibyte (TiB), and pebibyte (PiB). When 1000 is used for calculations, it refers to decimal multiples: kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB), terabyte (TB), and petabyte (PB). By default, the units for values in reports are displayed as binary multiples. This default setting can be changed by modifying a user's profile.
