DupScout Server Batch Search Operations

DupScout Server and DupScout Enterprise provide the ability to search the network, detect all network servers and NAS storage devices available on the network, execute one or more pre-configured duplicate files search commands on hundreds of network servers and NAS storage devices and generate an individual report for each network server, NAS storage device or network share.

In the simplest case, open the DupScout client GUI application, press the 'Network' button located on the main toolbar, search all network servers and NAS storage devices on the network, select one or more servers, press the right mouse button and select the 'Batch Duplicate Files Search' menu item. DupScout will show a list of pre-configured duplicate files search commands allowing one to select one or more commands to be executed on all selected network servers and NAS storage devices.

Depending on the selected batch search mode, DupScout Server will save in the built-in reports database an individual duplicate files report for each network server, NAS storage device or network share. Once the batch duplicate files search operation is completed, the user will be provided with the ability to open saved duplicate files reports, review results, generate various types of pie charts and export reports to a number of standard formats including HTML, PDF, text, Excel CSV and XML.
