SpaceObServer is a hard disk space manager for Windows 2000/XP/2003. It scans structures, sizes and properties of selected directories or whole drives, using a background service, and stores them in an MS SQL Server, ORACLE, MS Access or IBM DB2 database. In a client application the collected data can be viewed and browsed in hierarchical and tabular views and 3D bar, pie and line charts. For post processing tables can be exported to Excel or text files. Charts can be saved in a common image format. You can print a customizable report for scanned file systems. Using the archived data you are able to track the development of the space usage from past to present, or simulate the size and structure of directory trees for a previous date. A flexible file search with many predefined searches allows filtering and listing files, e.g. by extension, size, or last change date, directly from the database. Space usage can be grouped by file extensions or name of the files owner. SpaceObServer supports the international character standard Unicode. The SpaceObServer Client application is a remote management tool for scheduling and reporting scans. It enables you to access information of scanned directories, from additional computers in your network. SpaceObServer Client has the same user interface than the SpaceObServer, but it does not include the SpaceObServer system service.
