Duplicate Files on a Server report

This FSA Reporting report provides information on the number of duplicate files on a specified file server, by volume. The report identifies duplicates based on the file name, file size, and owner.

Note:

The File Collector service does not collect data for the three Duplicate Files reports by default, due to the performance demands. If you want to use these reports you must change the value of the CheckDuplicates parameter in the 'EnterpriseVaultFSAReporting' database.

See Modifying the FSA Reporting data collection parameters.
