sdl sdl Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-05-04 Posts: 14 Loc: fife	Does anyone , know of a script or util that will allow the following. Take a file/folder snapshot of a complete server of all files and there size. Then say the next day run the script/util again and it will produce a report of how many files have changes & give the total amount of data changed from the previous snapshot? if you understand that your doing good _________________________ Infrastructure Client Specialist IBM Global Services

Do the same thing the next day and compare the values. This is going to be very very slow though. Maybe there is a better solution - what is it you are trying achieve?

Alternatively, this is easily coded with KiXtart and existing UDFs that are already published in the UDF Forum. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

sdl sdl Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-05-04 Posts: 14 Loc: fife	ok here we go.... it needs to on day 1 count all the files and calculate the total data size. On Day 2 , check each files creation date & last written time, and size . counting as it scans through all the folders and toting up total number of new files , total number of files that have changes & total data size. Now with that information it can produce, total number of files, New files, Num of files that have changed & total amount of data growth. Sound correct.So no need to keep any file information, just totals. ok now script to do it...argh.... _________________________ Infrastructure Client Specialist IBM Global Services
