OS read onlyNTFS New Technology File System1 is a proprietaryfile system developed by Microsoft. Starting with Windows NT 3. Windows NT family. NTFS has several technical improvements over the file systems that it superseded File Allocation Table FAT and High Performance File System HPFS such as improved support for metadata and advanced data structures to improve performance, reliability, and disk space use. Additional extensions are a more elaborate security system based on access control lists ACLs and file system journaling. NTFS is supported in other desktop and server operating systems as well. Linux and BSD have a free and open source NTFS driver, called NTFS 3. G, with both read and write functionality. OS comes with read only support for NTFS its disabled by default write support for NTFS is unstable. HistoryeditIn the mid 1. Microsoft and IBM formed a joint project to create the next generation of graphical operating system the result was OS2 and HPFS. Because Microsoft disagreed with IBM on many important issues they eventually separated OS2 remained an IBM project and Microsoft worked to develop Windows NT and NTFS. The HPFS file system for OS2 contained several important new features. When Microsoft created their new operating system, they borrowed many of these concepts for NTFS. NTFS developers include Tom Miller, Gary Kimura, Brian Andrew and David Goebel. Probably as a result of this common ancestry, HPFS and NTFS use the same disk partition identification type code 0. Using the same Partition ID Record Number is highly unusual, since there were dozens of unused code numbers available, and other major file systems have their own codes. For example, FAT has more than nine one each for FAT1. FAT1. 6, FAT3. 2, etc. Algorithms identifying the file system in a partition type 0. HPFS and NTFS. VersionseditMicrosoft has released five versions of NTFS The NTFS. Windows 2. 00. 0 is based on the operating system version it should not be confused with the NTFS version number v. Windows XP. 1. 2Although subsequent versions of Windows added new file system related features, they did not change NTFS itself. For example, Windows Vista implemented NTFS symbolic links, Transactional NTFS, partition shrinking, and self healing. NTFS symbolic links are a new feature in the file system all the others are new operating system features that make use of NTFS features already in place. FeatureseditNTFS v. Encrypting File System EFS. ScalabilityeditNTFS is optimized for 4 KBclusters, but supports a maximum cluster size of 6. KB. 1. 4 The maximum NTFS volume size that the specification can support is 2. The maximum NTFS volume size implemented in Windows XP Professional is 2. For example, using 6. KB clusters, the maximum size Windows XP NTFS volume is 2. TB minus 6. 4 KB. Using the default cluster size of 4 KB, the maximum NTFS volume size is 1. TB minus 4 KB. Both of these are vastly higher than the 1. GB limit in Windows XP SP1. Because partition tables on master boot record MBR disks support only partition sizes up to 2 TB, multiple GUID Partition Table GPT or dynamic volumes must be combined to create a single NTFS volume larger than 2 TB. Booting from a GPT volume to a Windows environment in a Microsoft supported way requires a system with Unified Extensible Firmware Interface UEFI and 6. The NTFS maximum theoretical limit on the size of individual files is 1. Ei. B 1. 6 1. 02. KB, which totals to 1. With Windows 8 and Windows Server 2. TB minus 6. 4 KB or 2. JournalingeditNTFS is a journaling file system and uses the NTFS Log Log. File to record metadata changes to the volume. It is a feature that FAT does not provide and critical for NTFS to ensure that its complex internal data structures will remain consistent in case of system crashes or data moves performed by the defragmentation API, and allow easy rollback of uncommitted changes to these critical data structures when the volume is remounted. Notably affected structures are the volume allocation bitmap, modifications to MFT records such as moves of some variable length attributes stored in MFT records and attribute lists, and indices for directories and security descriptors. The USN Journal Update Sequence Number Journal is a system management feature that records in ExtendUsn. Jrnl changes to files, streams and directories on the volume, as well as their various attributes and security settings. The journal is made available for applications to track changes to the volume. This journal can be enabled or disabled on non system volumes. Hard linkseditThe hard link feature allows different file names to directly refer to the same file contents. Hard links are similar to directory junctions, but refer to files instead. Hard links may link only to files in the same volume, because each volume has its own MFT. Hard links have their own file metadata, so a change in file size or attributes under one hard link may not update the others until they are opened. Hard links were originally included to support the POSIX subsystem in Windows NT. Windows uses hard links to support short 8. NTFS. Operating system support is needed because there are legacy applications that can work only with 8. In this case, an additional filename record and directory entry is added, but both 8.

System Restore is a feature in Microsoft Windows that allows the user to revert their computers state including system files, installed applications, Windows Registry, and system settings to that of a previous point in time, which can be used to recover from system malfunctions or other problems. First included in Windows ME, it has been included in all following desktop versions of Windows released since, excluding the Windows Server. In Windows 1. System Restore is turned off by default and must be enabled by users in order to function. In prior Windows versions it was based on a file filter that watched changes for a certain set of file extensions, and then copied files before they were overwritten. An updated version of System Restore introduced by Windows Vista uses the Shadow Copy service as a backend allowing block level changes in files located in any directory on the volume to be monitored and backed up regardless of their location and allows System Restore to be used from the Windows Recovery Environment in case the Windows installation no longer boots at all. OvervieweditIn System Restore, the user may create a new restore point manually as opposed to the system creating one automatically, roll back to an existing restore point, or change the System Restore configuration. Moreover, the restore itself can be undone. Old restore points are discarded in order to keep the volumes usage within the specified amount. For many users, this can provide restore points covering the past several weeks. Users concerned with performance or space usage may also opt to disable System Restore entirely. Files stored on volumes not monitored by System Restore are never backed up or restored. System Restore backs up system files of certain extensions. It also backs up the registry and most drivers. Resources monitorededitStarting with Windows Vista, System Restore takes a snapshot of all volumes it is monitoring. However, on Windows XP, it only monitors the following 78The list of file types and directories to be included or excluded from monitoring by System Restore can be customized on Windows Me and Windows XP by editing windirsystem. Filelist. xml. 9Disk space consumptioneditThe amount of disk space System Restore consumes can be configured. Starting with Windows XP, the disk space allotted is configurable per volume and the data stores are also stored per volume. File are stored using NTFS compression and a Disk Cleanup handler allows deleting all but the most recent Restore Point to free up disk space. System Restore can be disabled completely to regain disk space. It automatically disables itself if the disk free space is too low for it to operate. Restore pointseditWindows creates restore points When software is installed using Windows Installer or other installers that are aware of System Restore1. When Windows Update installs new updates. When the user installs a driver that is not digitally signed by Windows Hardware Quality Labs. Periodically. By default. Windows XP creates a restore point every 2. Windows Vista creates a restore point if none is created within the last 2. Windows 7 creates a restore point if none has been created within the last seven days1. On users command. Windows XP stores restore point files in a hidden folder named System Volume Information on the root of every drive, partition or volume, including most external drives and some USB flash drives. The operating system deletes older restore points per the configured space constraint on a first in, first out basis. Implementation differenceseditThere are considerable differences between how System Restore works under Windows XP and later Windows versions. Configuration UI In Windows XP, there is a graphical slider to configure the amount of disk space allotted to System Restore. In Windows Vista, the GUI to configure the disk space is not available. Using the command line tool Vssadmin. Starting with Windows 7, the slider is available once again. Maximum space In Windows XP, System Restore can be configured to use up to a maximum of 1. Restore points over 9. RPLife. Interval Time to Live TTL default value of 7. In Windows Vista and later, System Restore is designed for larger volumes. By default, it uses 1. File paths monitored Up to Windows XP, files are backed up only from certain directories. On Windows Vista and later, this set of files is defined by monitored extensions outside of the Windows folder, and everything under the Windows folder. File types monitored Up to Windows XP, it excludes any file types used for users personal data files, such as documents, digital photographs, media files, e mail, etc. It also excludes the monitored set of file types. DLL,. EXE etc. from folders such as My Documents. Microsoft recommends that if a user is unsure as to whether certain files will be modified by a rollback, they should keep those files under My Documents. When a rollback is performed, the files that were being monitored by System Restore are restored and newly created folders are removed. However, on Windows Vista and later, it excludes only document file types it does not exclude any monitored system file type regardless of its location. Configuring advanced System Restore settings Windows XP supports customizing System Restore settings via Windows Registry and a file at windirsystem. Filelist. xml. 91. Windows Vista and later no longer support this. FAT3. 2 volume support On Windows Vista and later, System Restore no longer works on FAT3. GB. 1. 4Restoring the systemeditUp to Windows XP, the system can be restored as long as it is in an online state, that is, as long as Windows boots normally or from Safe mode. It is not possible to restore the system if Windows is unbootable without using a 3rd party bootable recovery media such as ERD Commander. Under Windows Vista and later, the Windows Recovery Environment can be used to launch System Restore and restore a system in an offline state, that is, in case the Windows installation is unbootable. Since the advent of Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset from it can be used to create a bootable recovery disc that can log on to an unbootable Windows installation and start System Restores. The toolset includes ERD commander for Windows XP that was previously a 3rd party product by Wininternals. Right Click Tools Firewall Ports. Limitations and complicationseditA bug existed in System Restore that shipped with Windows Millennium Edition wherein the rollback procedure does not work after 8 September 2. Microsoft had created an update to address this issue. A limitation which applies to System Restore in Windows versions prior to Windows Vista is that only certain file types and files in certain locations on the volume are monitored, therefore unwanted software installations and especially in place software upgrades may be incompletely reverted by System Restore. Consequently, there may be little or no practical beneficial impact. Certain issues may also arise when attempting to run or completely uninstall that application. In contrast, various other utilities have been designed to provide much more complete reversal of system changes including software upgrades. However, beginning with Windows Vista, System Restore monitors all system file types on all file paths on a given volume, so there is no issue of incomplete restoration.
