Title
A file-type sensitive, auto-versioning file system
Abstract
Auto-versioning file systems offer a simple and reliable interface to document change control. The implicit versioning of documents at each write access catches the whole evolution of a document, thus supporting regulatory compliance rules. Most existing file systems work on low abstraction levels and track the document evolution on their binary representation. Higher-level differencing tools allow for a far more meaningful change-tracking, though. In this paper, we present an auto-versioning file system that is able to handle files depending on their file type. This way, a suitable differencing tool can be assigned to each file type. Our approach supports regulatory compliant storage as well as the archiving of documents
