NTFS appears to have a feature called the 'USN Change Journal' (eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_Journal and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363798(VS.85).aspx ) that keeps track of modifications to the filesystem. I think some other backup products use it for fast incremental and differential backups, especially in cases where there are lots of files to check for changes.
Has anyone considered it's use under Bacula before? It appears that it could also speed up the 'accurate' operation as it keeps records like 'file was deleted', 'file was renamed', etc. Thanks James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
