EV FSA capacity planning tool for new File servers?

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi all,
does anyone know if the stand-alone capacity planning tool for Enterprise Vault File Archiving still exists - i.e point it at a file server before implementation, and it will esitimate the space recovered based on a set of policies? I dimly recall one from the KVS days but can't find it in 8.0 sp4
Or is it as easy to install FSA, and just run an archive in Report mode?
cheers,
Justin

Be careful if you plan to archive files based on last accessed date. The last time I used the FSA analyzer, it seemed to have modified the accessed date on the files when it gathered the data.
