Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for identifying file system events over time using at least two consecutive backup images for the file system. Using consecutive backup images for the file system enables the present invention to identify whether files have been created, removed or altered between backup operations, without actually interfering or interacting with the file system itself. As a result, the information gathered may be compiled to generate a more accurate file system model for the backed up file system. As a further result, the present invention is a less invasive way to gather information about file system events.
