You do not need seperate copies of Analog to make seperate reports

Depending on the types of reports that you want, you may be able to get
them from a cache file. You would run Analog once against the logs to
generate the cache file, and then run Analog against the cache file to
generate the reports. This will be a lot quicker than re-reading the whole
log file each time, but you lose some level of detail. Whether or not this
matters depends on the type of reports you want.

What hardware are you running the Windows reports on?

Then just create 70 "FILEALIASES" and run a single Request report. If it's
as simple as getting a total for each one of 70 subdirectories, you don't
even need FILEALIASES, just use the Directory report.
