The latest update to DiskView, version 3.5, released early this week brings several enhancements that will be well appreciated by security conscious users, system administrators, and IT managers.

This version enables installation of DiskView in multi-user mode, when the other users are running with non-administrator privileges (i.e. through limited user accounts). Users are able to see disk space distribution of only files for which they have access permissions. When running as an administrator, DiskView shows disk usage statistics for all files, including those that are normally hidden by Windows (like the System Volume Information folder). Also, DiskView is able to correctly show disk usage information for folders that belong to other users but which need backup from a central server. To achieve this, DiskView uses the backup user privilege when computing disk usage statistics. This feature is very useful for storage analysis and prediction for disk backups.

A free trial of DiskView 3.5 is available from our download page.
