For that you can use two utilites, one from SysInternals, called FileMon and which freeware. Here is a snip of product information from their homepage http://www.sysinternals.com "FileMon monitors and displays file system activity on a system in real-time. Its advanced capabilities make it a powerful tool for exploring the way Windows works, seeing how applications use the files and DLLs, or tracking down problems in system or application file configurations. Filemon's timestamping feature will show you precisely when every open, read, write or delete, happens, and its status column tells you the outcome." The second thing you can use is the TSM Journal Database Viewing Utility, where you can see all entries in the Journal DB, and what type of change that triggered it. Hope this helps.

I have a file server at a remote location connected via a 2mb leased line that runs a daily incremental of (usually) a couple of gb. Sometimes the session runs over into the next day due to extended incremental change and it is necessary to cancel the session so as not to impact on other daily traffic. I have not had the need to implement journaling on any of our nodes but might for this remote node - Is there any way of making the journal file contents visible using a text editor in order that we may locate the unexpected change in file sizes (we are not sure if it is new, changed or renamed files that are causing the volume of data to change). If it is not possible to find out this info from TSM can anyone recommend a 3rd party utility that can monitor file/folder change? Many thanks, C Adams.
