Question for the Geeks...

[GSequoia]

You know who you are...

Looking for some software that'll run on Win 2000 Server. What I want is something that will audit volumes, I'm specifically looking for folder sizes as an option (graphical would be kick ass) and most importantlly a report on duplicate files (preferably smart enough to distinguish between the same file name and actual content).

If you know of something shout out.

Not off the top of my head, I can do it with a shell script in unix but for windows have never thought about it. Maybe something in the mks toolkit ?

I'm thinking like Rich also. MKS or Cygwin may have something. Can't speak for MKS but Cygwin is hoorribly slow with disk access (too many thunks?) so it may be annoying to write something in bash or even just using du with appropriate switches.

What are you running for backup software? IIRC, Veritas had a graphical browser that would let you nav through the file system trees and have info as you went. Or was that ODS...?

For dup files, google some bash scripts. There's hordes of them out there.

Just some ideas.

The more I think about it mks would be the way to go, you get access to du, diff, mtime, find, depth, tar, cpio, cut, sort, etc....
Another way would be to mount the windows drive on a unix box either thru nfs or physically.
