The Backup Data Location Report is helpful in analyzing and determining the effectiveness of your protected data environment. From this report you can get a snapshot view of your overall backup infrastructure and determine if your data is well-protected.
For example, if this report shows that most of your protected data is located on an onsite tape, but not also located on an offsite tape, then you should modify your backup plan because your data is not well-protected in the event of a local disaster.
In addition, this report can also be helpful in determining the most efficient means of recovering the backed up data from if necessary.
For example, if this report shows that the data that you want to recover was backed up on onsite tape or disk and also on offsite tape, it is generally quicker to recover from the local tape or disk instead of from the remote location. As a result, you would select the onsite tape source or disk for the data recovery if necessary.
