Snapshots – These are created using the Snapshot creation tool, which can either be launched manually or via the scheduler.These two file formats each have their unique advantages. Toward that end, FolderSizes has a powerful Trend Analyzer tool that can consume two different types of data – Snapshots (.fssx files) and XML folder data (.xml files). Often, system and storage administrators need to know more about where disk space growth or contraction has occurred. Folder Level TrendsĪlthough certainly valuable, disk level trend analysis is sometimes not enough.

You can also use the scheduler to export Disk Reporter information, or even send it via email – but this isn’t necessary for establishing historical disk space data (the Disk Reporter simply needs run for that to happen). For example, you may elect to run the Disk Reporter for a specific set of paths every day at 6pm. Here you can establish an execution schedule that suits for you needs. To do so, open the Disk Reporter and click the Schedule button in the toolbar.
If you’d like to ensure that disk space history is recorded on a recurring basis, use the built-in FolderSizes scheduling facility. Now every time the Disk Reporter is launched, disk space information will be recorded for each volume that was added. Simply start the Disk Reporter and add each volume of interest – again, both local and network volumes are supported. If you prefer to track disk space history for a specific set of volumes, you can do so with the Disk Reporter. If a drive is visible in the “Drive Space” docking panel or the “Computer” view, then FolderSizes will store historical space information for that drive automatically, each time the program is launched. This includes local, removable, network, and other drive types. Disk Level TrendsįolderSizes automatically tracks available and used space for all attached drives. This article will discuss the types of trend analysis tools that are available, and how best to leverage them. FolderSizes offers powerful disk space usage trend analysis capabilities.
