QUESTION POSED ON: 04 February 2002
Do you know of any "free" storage analysis tools? Specifically, I'm looking for a tool that can look at all files on a server(s) and tell me the vital stats for each file. At a minimum I would like to know when a file was created, when it was last modified, when it was last accessed, the size of the file and optionally, the owner and location (path) of the file. I would think that this information is available from the file allocation table.
I want to use the tool to analyze file usage patterns on a server with the goal of deleting and/or archiving stale data. This would free up space for active applications and users, delay adding additional storage capacity and reduce backup time.
