Table: Report output: storage reduction by file type table

Item

Description

File Type

The file type for which information is shown.

Number of Shareable Parts

The number of shareable parts (SIS parts) for this file type in the vault stores.

Number of References to Shareable Parts

The number of references that exist to the SIS parts for this file type.

Before it stores a SIS part, Enterprise Vault checks whether an identical SIS part is already stored within the target vault store's sharing boundary. If an identical SIS part is already stored, Enterprise Vault references the stored SIS part and does not store it again.

The ratio of the number of references and the number of parts gives some indication of the amount of storage duplication saved.

Total Original Size (GB)

Total original size in gigabytes of the archived items, before any savings that are due to Enterprise Vault single instance storage.

Total On-Disk Size (GB)

Total size in gigabytes of the items on disk, before they were archived.

Storage Reduction (GB)

The total original size minus the total compressed size, in gigabytes. The value indicates the storage reduction that Enterprise Vault single instance storage has produced for this file type.

The report's "Most shared file types by number of references" section contains a table that ranks the file types by the greatest number of references to SIS parts.

Table: Report output: Most shared file types table shows the information that the report provides for each listed file type.
