Before you install OnePass, you can analyze your data to determine whether file-level archiving can save storage space for your organization. Use the following table to help you decide which tool to use:

The following sections describe the archive prediction tools in more detail.
System Discovery Tool
This tool runs a discovery job that analyzes the file structure and data on your computer system and creates a ZIP file that contains the results of the operation. The data discovered on the system includes information about the following:
-
Operating systems
-
Software applications
-
The amount of used and free space on the server
-
The total amount of memory on each computer in the system
In addition, you can set the System Discovery Tool to find specific machines and file level details such as file sizes, file types based on extensions, and file ages. You can then upload the data to the cloud network where the contents of the ZIP file are used to analyze the discovered data and generate reports based on the data.
For more information and instructions on how to use the tool, see System Discovery Tool.
File Level Analytics Report
You can run a File Level Analytics Report on your File System agent to help you determine whether OnePass is a feasible solution for your organization. The File Level Analytics Report displays a list of all files on the selected subclient and MediaAgent, based on file attributes for data that has been backed up. Information displayed in the report includes:
-
List of files based on their modified times.
-
List of files based on their access times or creation time.
-
List of files based on file size
For more information and instructions on running the report, see File Level Analytics Report.
