    You will have actual placeholders there. The difference in the size attributes from Windows to NetApp is down to limitations in the NetApp APIs available to us.

Hi,

How did you migrate the placeholders to the NetApp device? If you used FSAUtility, what switches did you use? Based on your description, It seems like the placeholders were recalled during the migration. Running the FSA archiving task should re-archive all the files and replace them by placeholders.

I hope this helps.
