The screenshot below shows an example of the data displayed on this page:
Graph
The graph spans from 1 year ago to 1 year in the future, centered on the date the page was viewed. Two lines are shown:
- The cumulative historical disk usage for your entire estate over the past 12 months (blue).
- The linear trend line projecting data growth across your entire estate for the next year based on the historical usage (orange).
