An NTFS reparse point is a type of NTFS file system object. It is available with the NTFS v3.0 found in Windows 2000 or later versions. Reparse points provide a way to extend the NTFS filesystem. A reparse point contains a reparse tag and data that are interpreted by a filesystem filter driver identified by the tag.
NTFS volume mount points are NTFS filesystem objects—implemented as NTFS reparse points—which are used to mount and provide an entry point to other volumes. Volume mount points are supported by NTFS 3.0, which was introduced with Windows 2000.
Junction points are NTFS reparse points and operate similarly to symbolic links in Unix or Linux, but are only defined for directories, and may only be absolute paths on local filesystems (as opposed to remote filesystems being accessed). They are created and behave in a similar way to hard links, except that if the target directory is renamed ...
When the Object Manager parses a file system name lookup and encounters a reparse attribute, it will reparse the name lookup, passing the user controlled reparse data to every file system filter driver that is loaded into Windows. Each filter driver examines the reparse data to see whether it is associated with that reparse point, and if that ...
Reparse Point (L): The file or directory has an associated re-parse point, or is a symbolic link. Offline (O): The file data is physically moved to offline storage (Remote Storage). Sparse (P): The file is a sparse file, i.e., its contents are partially empty and non-contiguous. Temporary (T): The file is used for temporary storage.
Shadow Copy (also known as Volume Snapshot Service, [1] Volume Shadow Copy Service [2] or VSS [2]) is a technology included in Microsoft Windows that can create backup copies or snapshots of computer files or volumes, even when they are in use. It is implemented as a Windows service called the Volume Shadow Copy service.
Transactional NTFS (abbreviated TxF [1]) is a component introduced in Windows Vista and present in later versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system that brings the concept of atomic transactions to the NTFS file system, allowing Windows application developers to write file-output routines that are guaranteed to either succeed completely or to fail completely.
