If you’re on Server 2008R2 and want to install Disk Cleanup, Microsoft tells you to install an update or two, enable a Windows feature, and reboot the server.

What they don’t tell you, but hide on a small TechNet article is that you can “install” disk cleanup yourself by copying two files. Basically, you’ll need to find these two bad boys if you’re running 64-bit Windows:

C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-cleanmgr_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_c9392808773cd7da\cleanmgr.exe

C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-cleanmgr.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_en-us_b9cb6194b257cc63\cleanmgr.exe.mui

The cleanmgr.exe goes in Windows\System32 and the cleanmgr.exe.mui goes into Windows\System32\en-us folder. That’s it!

A client’s backup stopped working and started throwing a bunch of errors. Being Acronis, the errors were extremely not helpful. Finally, I found that the Buffalo Terastation had a little feature where files that were deleted (by Acronis when cleaning up old backups) were not really deleted. They were put in a TrashBox folder.

I found this document here, which highlighted this. http://sg.faq.buffalo-global.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14207/p/31,32,515,518

If you want to turn this feature off, you can do the following:

Log into the TeraStation’s settings, navigate to Shared Folders – Shared Folder Name, and disable Recycle Bin.

In process explorer, just choose your columns and select VirusTotal:

Then enable the checking of files:

And enjoy your results!
