DiskTools Pro Description

A great hard drive utility for your Mac. Mac hard drive maintenance and management can be difficult, time-consuming and confusing. But if you skip these critical activities, it can lead to disaster. Simply put, if you want to repair and maintain your Mac worry-free, you’ll let a Pro handle it.DiskTools Pro makes Mac repair and maintenance painless, fast and easy. DiskTools Pro is the only utility software that allows you to schedule when to defragment, backup or repair bad sectors of your Mac. Furthermore, it doesn’t require you to run the tools from a boot DVD, CD or separate volumes in order to fix the startup volume. Here are some key features of "DiskTools Pro": · Allows you to test and repair multiple volumes all at once. · Offers full multiprocessor compatibility to handle any system configuration. · Lists the largest files on a disk so you can remove them or archive them. · Comes with its own backup module, so archiving is a one-stop operation, if you wish. · DiskTools Pro also allows you to run its modules on multiple disks at the same time. Schedule: · Easily schedule when to defragment files, repair bad sectors and backup your volume. Many utilities hog your system resources when running, and cause problems if you are trying to work on your computer during the process. DiskTools Pro allows you to run these critical tools overnight or at any other time that you are away from your Mac. You can even set it to shutdown or put your system to sleep when complete. Defragment Your Files: · The more you use your Mac, the more your files get fragmented. This creates more work for your computer as it puts files back together again for use. DiskTools Pro safely defragments your files to keep your Mac up to speed. Create Bootable Backups: · Easily copy an entire volume to another destination to keep your system safe. DiskTools Pro creates bootable backups of your hard disk that can be used to create disk clones, move your running operating system from one disk to another (for example, when replacing a hard disk), or to backup system folders individually. Supports Multiple Volumes: · Run DiskTools Pro on as many volumes as you want simultaneously. This will save you time from having to run tests or repair multiple volumes one at a time. Fix Bad Sectors: · Easily find and fix defective sectors on volumes or in individual files Repair Volumes: · Quick repair when your applications, files or system are not working right QuickBench: · Measure the read and write speeds over an entire local storage device S.M.A.R.T. Alerts: · Receive an alert if a drive is about to fail so you can save your files or backup Stress Test: · Test disk integrity to make sure it can handle your workload and remain stable No Boot CD: · Run nearly every tool on your boot volume without having to un-mount it first · Benchmark testing · Test data transfer integrity · Analyze drive capacity to free space on your Mac · Repair and maintenance logs · Fix and repair multiple volumes simultaneously · Run tools on startup volume without a boot CD Requirements: · PowerPC G4 or later. · 256MB RAM · 80MB for Program Installation What's New in This Release: Bug Fixes: · Fixed a possible issue where the application could stall during startup. · Fixed issue where some mounted volumes with non-MacOS file systems might not be shown in the volume list. · Fixed issue where some non-MacOS Extended volumes would be allowed to start a defragmentation run then quickly stop with an error. The issue was created in version 3.5 and caused no consequence to the selected volume. · Change: As of Mac OS X 10.6, Apple has changed the way that they calculate disk and file sizes. Prior to Mac OS 10.6, a Megabyte was considered to be equal to 1024 Kilobytes. With Mac OS 10.6, a Megabyte is considered to be equal to 1000 Kilobytes. This change now follows the preferred nomenclature of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology and has the effect of making disk capacities and files sizes appear larger than they did when running Mac OS 10.5.x and earlier. As a result, we too have made this change starting with version 3.5.1 throughout the software when using Mac OS 10.6 and later. However, for comparative consistency across different Mac OS versions, all disk benchmarking tasks will continue to use the older calculation method (i.e. one Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes) for the time being. Additions: · Added ability to customize displayed information in the main volume heading. · Added more information to volume information listing including: Installed MacOS version and additional ownership information. · Added: On volumes where the file and folder counts are initially unknown (because they have a foreign file system), the file/folder display counts throughout the application will be automatically updated after performing one of the following tasks: Scanning Files for Bad Sectors, Find Broken Aliases and/or Analyzing Capacity Usage. · Added the ability to export Volume/Device Information and Log Information to the clipboard and/or to an RTF text file. · Added ability to copy the selected text from the Verify/Repair task output to clipboard.
