Real-time backup

  • Multiple volumes are supported, and tracked separately.
  • USN support is only available for NTFS, and the case is handled accordingly for that filesystem (currently not case sensitive).
  • The actual behavior if USN isn’t available for one of the volumes (file system not NTFS, platform Linux, …) depends on the value of -usn-policy:
    • off = USN not used
    • auto = Tries to use USN, silently (info message) use full scan for any volume where USN cannot be used
    • on = Tries to use USN, use full scan for any volume where USN cannot be used, and issue warning.
    • required = Tries to use USN, abort backup with error if it fails for any of the volumes.
