I like the command line options but the file resource reporting
features are a good way to trend utilization.

The other thing that comes to mind is to check the backup logs from

files backed up, but if they are set that way, I can diff them and see
what happened.
If they aren't set that way, I'll have to see what kind of impact that
logging will entail, and make a judgment...

In re: [1], either 'du' or 'find' can do what you want.
I'm pretty sure that I had a native Windows application called
"scanner.exe" that did that too - but I'm unable to locate it right
now.

Subject: Finding a huge file dump from June...
All,
On our file server we have a single 1.5tb partition - it's on a SAN.
Over the course of 4 days recently it went from about 30% free to
about 13% free - someone slammed around 200gb onto the file server.
I have a general idea of where it might be - there are two top-
level directories that are over 200gb each.
However, windirstat hasn't been completely helpful, as I can't seem
to isolate which files were loaded during those days, and none of
the files that I've been looking at were huge - no ISO or VHD files
worth mentioning, etc..
I also am pretty confident that there are a *bunch* of duplicate
files on those directories.
So, I'm looking for a couple of things:
1) A way to get a directory listing that supports a time/date stamp
(my choice of atime, mtime or ctime) size and a complete path name
for each file/directory on a single line - something like:
2009-01-08 16:12 854,509
K:\Groups\training\On-Site_Special_Training\Customer1.doc
I've tried every trick I can think of for the 'dir' command and it
won't do what I want, and the 'ls' command from gunuwin32 doesn't
seem to want to do this either. Is there a powershell one-liner
that can do this for me perhaps?
2) A recommendation for a duplicate file finder - cheap or free
would be preferred.
