Abstract
A file backup method, which can be implemented on a virtual machine system or applied to backup files of a virtual machine, is herein described. The virtual machine system may include a virtual machine server and be associated with a backup server. Changes to a storage media are tracked through change block tracking. A location where file system records reside on the storage media is identified. Changed file system records are identified among the tracked changes to the storage media. Copies are made of the files that the changed file system records are pointing to.
