Disk Usage Issues - WHERE DID MY FREE SPACE GO??
Hey guys,
I dont know about you, but one problem I seem to regularly face in the field with my clients is lack of disk space. Admins these days just dont seem to do much housekeeping on their servers on the front of freeing up the space they should & eventually this ends up causing problems.
Worst off is so many of us out there then resort to wasting a lot of time checking the size of individual files & folder through Windows Explorer trying to find where all the utilization has gone to.
Guys, there are tools out there to make your life easier- use them!
One such tool (my favourite) is Jam Software's TreeSize / TreeSize PRO - this is NOT freeware but a fully functional shareware copy can be downloaded, used & evaluated... Then if you like, please buy.
There are a number of other similar GPL tools available from SourceForge.net which can do the same job accross platforms so its up to you what you want to use - freesize is one I have used before which is similar to treesize...
Use these tools people - they small, light weight, analyze your disks in secconds and give you an easy to use visual display of where your disk space is being utilized / wasted so its quick n easy for you to clean up.
I'd like to see some of you try them out & then post some comments on here if indeed you find these tools saved you some time & effort...
