1.7 Generating usage reports

Usage reports provide historical data about using the backup service. The following reports are
available:

Selected organization
This report contains statistics for a given organization. It can be used to charge organizations for
the backup service.

All organizations
This report contains statistics for all organizations that used the backup service in the reporting
period (including organizations for which the backup service is currently disabled).

Report for Acronis
This report contains the same information as the report for all organizations with the addition of
your company name and contact e-mail.

Reporting parameters

The values of all parameters are checked every day at 23:55 according to the time settings of vCloud
Director. The report uses the values as they were at that time.

The report includes the following parameters for the organization:

Number of protected VMs: The total number of protected machines (that is, the machines to
which backup plans are applied), no matter whether backups of those machines exist

Storage usage: The total size of all backups in the backup storage (in gigabytes). This parameter
may be excluded from the report, depending on the backup service settings.

Backed-up data: The total amount of data that was backed up. This amount includes the initial
content of the virtual machine disks and the subsequent incremental changes to that content.
