Hi All,
I have been working on file system minifilter but i want to explore the
different strategies for the backup (full and incremental backup).
This is starting point i need the design suggestion and please point me if
any samples are available.
Regards,
Ravish
better post on NTFSD. i think you can start from here
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowshardware/swapBuffer-File-System-6b7e6e2d.it may help
Tuten:)
OP,
it is unclear what is the unit of backup here, file, volume, disk etc. each
of these have different approaches, and none of those approaches are able
to solve all the problems (in my opinion). hence each backup software needs
to decide what it’s goals are, who th target audience is, and what all
features it wants to implement. what all scenarios it has to support etc.

If ur unit is volume then ur incremental will also be of the volume, that
us, the sectors changed after the full bkup would constitute the
incremental image.
What you want is really a partial volume, since files make up the volume.
Doing it at file level only would mean when you restore ur restored volume
won’t look exactly like your source…
On the other hand if you go the volume way you lose file context.
It is possible to design such a product and there already exists some in
the market…I would recommend u download and install them if u haven’t
already, to get a feel of the features and how they implement them.
