SpaceObServer-Ribbon-File

Add Scan

Opens a form where you can select a drive, share or directory to scan. You may also enter a complete machine/server name (e.g. "\\MyServer\") to scan all available shares of this machine/server. All shares can be grouped in a container.

Note: With SpaceObServer Enterprise Edition you can also scan Linux and Unix server via SSH (See: "Scan Linux / Unix") and scan the storage of Exchange Server mailboxes (See: "Scan Exchange Server").

Save Report As XML

Saves the information of the current file system branch scan to an XML file. Please note that the information about single files is not saved to the XML, because this would increase the size of the XML files too much. Just the information about folders is included in the file.
XML reports generated by SpaceObServer can be used with TreeSize Professional.

Note: There is no way to store XML reports back to a connected database. The XML reports do not contain all the information needed in the database (Only folder sizes are stored in XML Reports, no file sizes).

Send by email

Sends the collected data via email. Information about the email settings can be found here.

Export

Exports the Directory Tree, chart or list content to a file. See submenu Export.

Print Report

Prints the Directory Tree, chart or list content. See submenu Printing.

Options

Opens the Options dialog of SpaceObServer. The submenu also contains commands that allow you to import/export and reset the current options.

About

Shows the About dialog, which contains version and contact information.

Exit
