Abstract
A method of controlling a process on a computer system for backing-up files stored in a primary storage medium, to a secondary storage medium. The method comprises monitoring a file system implemented on the computer system in order to detect write operations made by the file system to said primary storage medium. Upon detection of a write operation, the integrity of a file being written is verified and/or changes in the file identified with respect to a version of the file currently stored in the primary storage medium and which is being replaced. In the event that the integrity of a file being written by the file system is compromised, and/or any identified changes in the file are suspicious, then the file is identified to the back-up process such that automatic back-up of the file is inhibited.
