Files - Most Obsolete Files

Obsolete files reporting allows you to generate reports on the files found in your environment that have not been accessed in the longest period of time. It is very likely that many of these files are no longer needed, at least online, and could be wasting space.

You can view this information by directory, directory group, filesystem, filesystem group, cluster, computer, computer group, domain, and for the entire network.

Note: The number of files that are gathered and stored in the Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Enterprise Repository is dependent upon the number that you specify in the profile that you use during scanning. The default profile gathers information on the 20 most obsolete files. You can select a profile for the report by clicking the Profile list box.
