The OS Report is helpful in quickly classifying machines based on the operating system. You can get an overall view to analyze and determine which operating system is most effective for backup jobs, and which ones could be potential problem areas.
For example, you can correlate this report with the Top Nodes with Fastest/Slowest Backup Throughput Report and identify if a node has slow throughput possibly because of a recent Service Pack applied on the node's operating system. You can also use this report to identify the version and Service Pack level of the operating systems for the nodes in your environment. You can then use this information to apply the latest patches or upgrades to the operating system for the nodes in your environment. You can also use this report to obtain information about the installation directory of your operating system as well as the language of operating systems in a localized backup environment.
Always look for patterns in behavior to isolate potential problem operating systems and determine if nodes with the same operating system are failing frequently. It is important to analyze the results from all fields of this report when attempting to determine problem nodes.
