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....
