Several reports are available for NAS File Servers, which are categorized as follows:
The following table enumerates the reports, along with a short description. It also indicates whether an Analysis level Data Collection Job is required to produce complete and accurate data for each report.
For step-by-step instructions, see Run/Schedule a Report.

* A Discovery level Data Collection Job is adequate to produce a complete File Shares report, but if a report for used space on the subclient with content residing on that share is desired, then an Analysis level Data Collection Job is required.
