How to write Upper Volume Filter Driver ?

Hi All,
I want to know more about Upper Volume Filter Driver as I think that I may be helpful to me in my requirement.
But I am not able to find much resources from which I can gain enough knowledge to start working on that.
So can anyone please refer me some links or docs or whatever related to Upper Volume Filter so that I can move forward in that direction.
Any help related to Upper Volume Filter Driver is welcome.
Thanks…

Diptesh,

Given your initial post less than 6 hours ago, an upper volume
filter does appear to be the correct type
of driver. With that said, I’ll take it upon myself to grip at you for a
moment :slight_smile:

Regardless of time zones, this is the weekend. Many or the real
professionals here are enjoying time off with their
families, relaxing, or just trying to get caught up on the things they
didn’t have time to do during the work
week and are ignoring this list until Monday morning; posting more than
once isn’t going to help you.

To add to that, you cross posted; just about everyone here
subscribes to both NTDEV and NTFSD.
Everyone just received a duplicate message - there is no point in doing
this…

I understand you probably have time constraints and are most likely
are feeling pressure to get the job done,
so for starters have a look at “TrueCrypt” - just Google it… It’s a
volume filter, open source, and apparently
has some sort of volume redirection functionality built into it (never
used it or read it’s source, just read something
about it using an inner and outer volume for ‘something’, not sure what
that means…). I’m sure it could give you
some guidance…

Furthermore, there is quite a bit about this in the archive - try a
Google advanced search on osronline.com to
better your results.

Good Luck,

Matt

Thanks Matt,
Thanks for you kind suggestion & support too.
As I was not knowing in which category will Volume filter fall & also as you said I am having timeconstraint pressure, I thought it may help me more by posting in both NTDEV & NTFSD.
Anyways I am looking at TrueCrypt and hoping to get some guidance from there.

Also let me tell you something more regarding my requirement. I want to develop an application which will keep track of all read,write or modify operations on any thing whether it be any application, or installation of some setup or registry edits on my system right from when I start my application till I restart the pc & save all the perform all the write operations in a space reserved by me on the Harddisk itself. On restarting the pc, it will erase all the contents from this reserved space so that my pc will be in the state as it was before starting my application.

Do you have any idea whether device filter driver or volume filter driver or anything else will be helpful to me to achieve this goal ?

Any kind of suggestion will be appreciated as they will help me fixing my direction towards my goal.
Thanks.

So you are going to re-implement the existing volume shadow copy service?
Yes a volume filter driver will work for this.
