Utility required to track data transfer

[gbnut]

Hello,

I've been searching for this without much success, so hopefully someone on this forum can help.
We have a number of fileservers, each about 1Tb in size. Recently, we've been losing large chunks of available space in a very short time, eg yesterday there was 30Gb free on the primary fileserver and this morning there is only 17Gb. What I need is some sort of utility/procedure that will help me track down which user/users are responsible....does anyone have any ideas please?

Many thanks in advance
Graeme

You could also try

http://sourceforge.net/projects/windirstat/

It show where the space is gone... Maybe you can track down big files. You could also try searches for "rather big" files with modification time or creation time less than a day...
Once you know what the files are, you can track the owner or look for patterns
