Eliminate redundant data due to client aliases and multiple IP addresses
The analyzer performs calculations based on the client name as stored in the catalog. Clients that are backed up by multiple aliases or multiple IP addresses are not collapsed into a single entry. For ease of accountability, the Itemization tab lists all client aliases and IP addresses used for backup separately. In some jurisdictions, the collection of the system IP address may be subject to regulation as personal data.
Determine where multiple client or policy lines refer to the same data set backed up through different interfaces. Make adjustments to the Charged Size value for all but one of the client or policy lines. We recommend retaining the value that is most recent. Annotate the duplicate client itemizations with a comment within the adjacent Reason cell. Indicate that the client's value is already counted under a different host name and reference the host name.
