Types of reports

You can customize predefined reports to monitor the utilization of backup storage and other aspects of your system environment.

Reports are based on the data that is collected by the most recent inventory job. You can generate reports after all cataloging jobs and subsequent database condense jobs are completed. You can run the following types of reports:
  • Backup storage utilization reports
  • Protection reports
  • System reports
  • Virtual machine environment reports
Reports include interactive elements, such as searching for individual values within a report, vertical scrolling, and column sorting.
Note: You must assign tags at the VM guest level for them to be utilized for backup exclusion rules based on tags or to be used as filtering for reports in IBM Storage® Protect Plus.
