This Daisy Chart was produced using the drawing template, daisyft1.dyt, using the facilities of Daisy to map all files on a computer. This chart is effectively a summary of the usage and drawn weekly, it can be used to show, where the growth in files stored on the computer or server is actually happening.

As can be seen from the chart, all the directories start with \vb, indicating that the directories were those used by Visual Basic. (The files were actually on James Miller's computer.)

The four groups of nodes are as follows :-

1. The directories in descending order of size. (The first node is the directory, where all of the files for Daisy 4.00 etc. are stored and totals over 70 Mb.)

2. The extensions shown similarly. (Note that .exe is the most common.)

3. The date the files were created.

4. The attributes of the files.

The main thing to note is that very few of these files are flagged as archived. (Don't worry about James and Daisy, but all of the files are mirrored on two servers!)

See the other Daisy File Management Examples - All Matching Files, All Unique Files, Duplicate Files, Duplicate Pictures, Duplicate Programs and Large Duplicate Files.
