Advantages of FBWF

  • Article

Like EWF, FBWF prevents writes to one or more protected volumes and caches all writes to protected volumes in an overlay cache on a volatile store. But because FBWF operates at the file level rather than the sector level, it provides several features not found in EWF:

  • File and Directory Management Transparency
  • Selective Write Through
  • Selective Commits and Restores
  • Improved Overlay Memory Use
