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").

Reload

Reloads the scan currently selected in the direcotry tree from the database.

Scan Directory Now

Note: The duration of a scan depends on the number of files and sub folders in the directory. You should scan huge directories overnight by scheduling the scan within the Configure Scans Dialog.

Remove Scan from View

Delete Scan from Database
