To generate a set of reports on a regular schedule, you schedule a report task. You use the Storage Reports Task Properties dialog box to specify which reports to generate and what parameters to use, which volumes and folders to report on, how often to generate the reports, which file formats to save them in, and whether to deliver the reports by e-mail.
You can also generate one or more storage reports on demand by using the Generate Reports Now action. You use the Storage Reports Task Properties dialog box to select and configure report settings and delivery options for on-demand reports.
