Microsoft Windows NTFS Change Journal keeps track of every change made to files and or directories on an NTFS volume from one point in time to another The Backup Client can use this Change Journal to determine the changes made to a volume since the last backup This enables it to skip the process of scanning all files and directories before initiating the backup P Tip This is especially useful when backing up a large selection that would result in a SEE Pi process Example If you have thousands of files selected for backup and would like to do a successive backup after having changed only one file with Use NTFS Change Journal for supported volumes enabled the Client will not need to scan through all the files to find the change and can start the backup immediately after obtaining the change record from the Change Journal instead i Note This feature can only be used on NTFS formatted drives and is therefore not supported on MAC or Linux Limitations In the following instances the Backup Client will not use the Change Journal and will revert to performing normal scans instead If junction points are used when a folder points to another folder on a different drive If the backup selection changes Changing your backup selection results in NTFS not seeing a change on your drive so the Backup Client will have to rebuild the index The Backup Client will only be able to use the Change Journal from the next backup onwards
