Security Basics: RE: Server Losing Hard Disk Space

["Dixon, Wayne" <wcdixo () aurora lib il us>]

Dan:

 You can do a search for all files that have changed within the last
day, or couple of days and put a size limit, like 10MB or higher and see
what comes up.  If the server runs a webserver, check the directory and
the permissions of those files.  I ran across that one day where I kept
losing hard drive space and that's what it was.

Subject: Server Losing Hard Disk Space


I have a win2k which has been steadily losing disk space for the last
few days at a rate of half a gig a day or more. Can anyone point me in
the direction of a tool that will allow me to see which files have
increased in size between determined intervals? Any help is
appreciated...
