About the Summary Distribution List for Vault report

This report is similar to the Detailed Distribution List for Vault report, except that the entry for each piece of media lists only a unique client, policy, schedule and date. That is, if multiple backup jobs for a given client, policy and schedule (usually seen with RDBMS backups or SAP backups) are written to the same volume on the same date, only one line of information prints on this report. The Detailed Distribution List would show each of these backup jobs as a separate entry, which can generate a long report. The Summary Distribution List for Vault report summarizes the information and presents it in a more compact form. This report is also useful for disaster recovery situations; we recommend that you send this report offsite.
