About the Detailed Distribution List for Vault report

The Detailed Distribution List for Vault report shows the volumes that have ejected from the robot and are transported off-site. This report is similar to the Picking List for Robot and Distribution List for Vault reports except that it includes detailed information about the images on each volume. Because backup jobs can span volumes, fragments of a backup image may appear on more than one volume. If two or more fragments of the same image are on one volume, they are reported on one line rather than on a separate line for each fragment. That is, each image is listed once for every media its fragments reside on.

This report is useful at a disaster recovery site. Symantec recommends that you send this report offsite.
