Incorrect Endpoint Size and BLOB Count on Dashboard

After running the unused blob cleanup to confirm dashboard metrics have been collected recently, there may still be a discrepancy between the data reported on the dashboard, and the actual number/size of data on the endpoints. If there seems to be a discrepancy, use the values directly from the endpoint.

If the endpoint has a retention period enabled over and above any retention periods configured in SharePoint (recycle bins) or StoragePoint (retention period), BLOBS on these endpoints may be counted as 'Unused BLOB Files Removed' in the Unused BLOB Cleanup Job Summary.

Using the Previous Version of SharePoint for the Look and Feel

If sites are being created with a user interface from a previous version, i.e. creating a site in SharePoint 2013 with a SharePoint 2010 look, the StoragePoint controls will not be available. Please contact support with the SharePoint version and the exact version of StoragePoint. A solution can be made available.

SharePoint 2013 Eval Sites

When upgrading to SharePoint 2013, there is an option to view the SharePoint 2010 sites as an evaluation copy in order to correct layout and format. The url of this site will be different than the copied site, and this may break the link to externalized BLOBs if content is copied.
