SUMMARY
The Protected Assets report shows the amount of data that we need to protect on a given Protected Asset. Think of this as what data we collect during a Full backup. It is not a total of all the data collected by the appliance, but just a footprint of the Protected Asset.
ISSUE
How do I find out what Servers, Virtual Machines, and Databases we are protecting and how much data those servers have that we are asking the Appliance to protect?
I need to produce a "Capacity Report" for helping us determine what kind of Appliance we might need in the future.
