Managing Data Storage

This chapter introduces data storage management on NTFS-formatted volumes. You will learn about compression, which allows you to store more data on a disk, and you will learn about disk quotas, which allow you to control how much space a user can have on a disk. You will learn about how you can increase the security of files and folders on your computer by using the Encrypting File System (EFS). You will also learn about defragmenting a disk, which allows your system to access files and save files and folders more efficiently.
