This update brings some new features and fixes to SPACEWatch Enterprise, SPACEWatch for Exchange and SPACEWatch for Domino. Read about all the changes.
Get the updated look
Progressively you'll see more Vista-looking features creeping into SPACEWatch Storage Suite. In this build the eagle-eyed amongst you will notice changes in the File and Directory Finders, reflecting the look of the new Storage Browser introduced with SPACEWatch v5.7.63.
In the above example you can see part of an Exchange user's mailbox displayed in Directory Finder.
Use IBM TSM data
If you're using IBM TSM for backup then you can now use its data with SPACEWatch - removing the need to scan storage twice. Of course TSM doesn't collect everything you need for SPACEWatch, but for many purposes it is sufficient. Just look under "Special" in the Storage Browser.
Native Windows authentication now supported on SQL Server
If you're using Microsoft's SQL Server you may prefer to use native Windows authentication to control access to your databases, rather than database authentication (when you need to maintain your own set of usernames). Well SPACEWatch can now exploit this approach too.
Just choose this new option from the database connection dialog...
Don't go on too long
Are you worried about data collections taking too long and perhaps starting to impinge on other operations such as backups? If you are you can use a new command line option in your task automation to prevent this. Using the /K option you can specify a date/time beyond which SPACEWatch will gracefully abort collection. Any data collected up to that point will be merged into your space database. Search for 'batch' in the product help for more details.
