Using DiskWarrior’s Hardware Monitoring Chapter 2: Using DiskWarrior 45

Automatic Diagnostics

You can also conﬁgure DiskWarrior to run the hardware monitoring automatically. If you choose

to have DiskWarrior automatically check your drives, DiskWarrior will install a small program

in your Login Items. The program checks every few hours of running time to see if it should ac-

tivate. The program requires very little system resources and virtually no CPU time. It neither

reads nor modiﬁes any data from any disk.

Caution: The hardware monitoring can only detect gradual failure of the hard drive over a

period of time. It cannot detect unpredictable hard drive failures, such as those caused by

a power surge. Therefore, Alsoft recommends that you regularly make a complete backup

of your disks.

The hardware monitoring can be scheduled to run hourly, daily or weekly.

Note: Some hard drives will generate a sound when the internal diagnostic is run. This

sound is normal and not an indicator of mechanical malfunction.

If the hardware monitoring detects a malfunction with the drive device, you may choose how

DiskWarrior notiﬁes you of the problem.

Alert

By choosing this option, DiskWarrior will give you an alert message if the hardware

monitoring detects a malfunction.

E-mail

By choosing this option, DiskWarrior will generate an e-mail to be sent to the e-mail

address (or addresses) you specify when this option is selected. This type of

notiﬁcation may be preferable in server situations, or when machine support is

provided by someone other than the user. If you wish to enter two or more e-mail

addresses, seperate each address with a comma.
