File Size: 68.6 MB

Copied files are a problem on many servers. Finding duplicate files is a start, but finding entire duplicate file and folder structures can save a lot of work. Detecting similar file directories, however, is not an easy task if done by hand. Luckily, SpaceObServer will help you find the similarities.

Why SpaceObServer:

Regular and automatable storage scans

Recognize increased disk space on folder level

Identify unnecessary files

Report and filter for NTFS Permissions

Automated reporting via OLE Automation

Exchange mailboxes scans

Linux and Unix scan via SSH

Modern ribbon user interface

Features:

- Track Disk Space Usage Continuously in the Background

The SpaceObServer Agent scans selected drives and stores the collected data in an SQL database.

Scan network drives without the need to install additional software on the server.

Scan all shares of a complete server at the touch of a button or schedule scans.

SpaceObServer can access the NTFS Change Journals of local drives and updates information about local NTFS drives continuously.

- The Enterprise Edition offers even more disk space management features:

Determine disk space occupied by Exchange mailboxes (right down to folder level).

Linux and Unix file systems can usually be scanned via NFS (Network File System) or Samba - the Enterprise Edition allows you to scan them directly via SSH (Secure Shell).

- Analyze Disk Space

The size of each folder is displayed directly in the file system tree: easily discover which folders occupy most of your hard disk space.

Visualize disk space usage and track down unwanted files with several visualization options.

A space usage history shows development over time and provides an approximate estimate of disk space usage development for the future.

View, print and export 3D bar, pie, line charts and tree maps.

In a file preview you can see detailed information about selected files.

Scanned directories can be merged in "Containers", allowing analyses across drives, e.g. to search for duplicate files.

Statistics can be grouped by users or file extensions.

Compare folders and file structures to find similar or identical trees.

- Remote access with Add-ons (sold separately)

The SpaceObServer Remote Client offers access to all scan results from different workstations in your network.

Use the SpaceObServer Web Access to access scan results in your standard web browser.

- Search for Files

The highly customizable file search allows filtering your files by size, last change, last access and creation date, extension, filename and path pattern, file attributes, owner, NTFS permissions or full path length.

Filter options are applied directly to the directory tree and all other views.

Duplicate files can be identified by the MD5 checksum of their content or a combination of name, size and last change date, for even easier deduplication operations.

- Clean up Disk Space

Checked directories and files can be easily moved, zipped or deleted. You can choose to keep file permissions and create stub files for moved files.

State of the art deduplication-feature: SpaceObServer can replace duplicate files with NTFS

- Export Results

Print reports showing the directory structure or save them as Excel, XML, PDF, HTML, CSV or text-file and export them to the clipboard.

Directly send reports via e-mail.

Charts can be exported in the common graphic formats JPG, GIF and PNG.

- The SpaceObServer Enterprise Edition offers automated Reporting via OLE Automation

The OLE Automation interface allows scheduling your exports from within your own scripts or applications.

All programming languages that offer an OLE Automation interface are supported (e.g. C#, VBScript, VB.NET, Delphi, Windows PowerShell, VBA in Microsoft Office).

Programming examples are included.

- Complete NTFS support

SpaceObServer supports Unicode file and folder names.

File-based NTFS compression.

Alternate Data Streams (ADS) and hardlinks are shown.

SpaceObServer finds and processes file paths exceeding 255 characters.

SpaceObServer analyzes NTFS permissions and can filter for files with specific access permissions.

- Customized View

Visibility and order of the columns can be configured for the details view and each export type separately.

You can easily customize the output format, e.g. number of decimals, size unit (Byte, KB, MB, GB, TB or automatic display of an appropriate size unit) etc.

- SpaceObServer supports:

Unicode file and directory names.

The Explorer context menu within the SpaceObServer interface.

Windows File Paths longer than 255 characters.

What's new:

•Bugfix: Under certain conditions errors occurred in update scans, in case the scan option "Calculate Permissions (ACLs) and store in database" ("Scan > Configure Scans > Scan Options") was activated. This issue would have been shown in the "State" field of the corresponding scan. Parts of the data structure might have been stored incorrect in the database. This issue has been fixed.

•Bugfix: It was possible that the scan setting "Use different credentials for scan" ("Scan > Configure Scans > Expert Settings") as well as the monthly update option ("Scan > Configure Scans > Update Options") was not persisted correctly to the database and therefore ignored in scans. These issues have been fixed.

•Bugfix: The option "Limit to this Extension" on the ribbon tab "Extensions" is now also available in case a file type group is selected in the Extensions list.

•Bugfix: The option "Colorize bars" on the ribbon tab "Distributions" will now be memorized and restored after an application restart.

•Bugfix: The small size indicator bars shown in the background of each folder in the directory tree now visualize the correct percentage values for root folders grouped in a container.

•Bugfix: The functionality to install the MS SQL Server Express Edition ("Tools > Options > System > Database") occasionally not worked correctly. This issue has been fixed.

•Bugfix: We fixed some issues with missing mailboxes in Exchange Server scans in case the Exchange Server is used in the context of multiple domains.

•A few minor bug fixes and improvements have been incorporated.
