If Samba is enabled:

• A file named sizereport.txt can be reviewed by accessing the client share (ex. \\hostname\client)

(Note Samba can be enabled in Settings|Security Settings)

If Samba is disabled:

• A file named sizereport.txt will be created in the backups directory which can be accessed via FTP.

(Note FTP must be enabled in Settings|Security Settings)

NOTE: Replace "hostname" for the SMA's hostname or IP address.

FTP

Using a command prompt:

1. Open a cmd prompt and change to a directory this user has permissions to access (eg: c:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop - where USERNAME is the actual name of the user OR another example could be c:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads)
2. Once in an accessible directory, type: ftp hostname 
3. Type "kbftp" for the username and hit enter
4. Type "getbxf" for the password and hit enter

NOTE: The password above is the default password if Make FTP writable is enabled in the Security Settings of the SMA and did not enter a password. If this default password does not work it is because a new password was added.

Click Settings|Security Settings. Type the new password in New FTP user password box and scroll down and click Save and Restart Services.

This Action will restart the services on the SMA!

5. Type "type binary" and hit enter
6. Type "get sizereport.txt" (Note that the file was successfully transferred to the directory used in step 1 of these instructions)

• Username: kbftp
• Password: getbxf

NOTE: The password above is the default password if Make FTP writable in the Security Settings of the SMA is enabled and did not enter a password. If this default password does not work it is because a new password was added.

Click Settings|Security Settings. Type the new password in New FTP user password box and scroll down and click Save and Restart Services.
