Does any body know of a 3rd party software/utility that can monitor a folder, denie access, send an instant message, use an absolute limit?
I may as well try and explain what i am trying to do, I am an IT assistant for an acounting firm which use's a program to manage all its clients and data the program is basicly a client/document management software application which runs just about anything you want (word,excel,access and many accounting programs) which are all executed within the program and each document that is saved from each different program is realted to a client - this is the generall function of the program.
Where my need for a utillity/application comes into this is all the files,documents (paper) and correspondence are scanned into the program and depending on the user the document/file is saved into there allocated path, we are now trying to implement burning the data that is stored in the folders (which i want to monitor) ie 4GB to disk (DVD - which can hold 4.7GB) which will then be put in a DVD tower and the program will read the data from the disk instead of the hard drive ( there is 5 DVDR's in our tower so if you do the maths it can hold around 23 GB (instead of taking up memory on the servers hard drive) which is a lot of data and is removable and easily stored on or off site.
So we need to monitor the allocated path of the scanner user and when they use say 4GB in there allocated folder i want to recive a message (ie the folder % V:/DATA/Documents/Archive% has reached its limit of %4GB%) then i will change there allocated path to a differnt folder (ie Archive2) so the user can keep working then burn the files from the full folder to disk then when Archive2 is i will relocate the path back to Archive which will be empty and the process goes on. I forgot to mention the Program which everything is created/saved whatever uses the these file/folder paths to open/close/save the documents and there is somethin like 12GB worth of files in the documents folders (which is like 70,000 files) so if we put it all on DVD disks were saving the space and memory on the servers hard disk.
i hope that makes sense sorry for the novel but it might give you more of an idea what im trying to acheive.
