My management has tasked me with searching all of the CIFS shares on all of my NAS devices for certain executable files, MP3s, ITunes files, etc. This potentially could be a very time consuming job. I've looked at a number of utilities, both paid and free, and have found all of them to be lacking or incapable for one reason or another. I really don't like the idea of creating an index, and most of the "fast search" products try to create an index in RAM. This blows out when you're searching TBs of data.
Has anyone else been tasked with this type of job? If so, what did you use for searching? Any recommendations for products/utilities/etc?
Thanks in advance,
