A file-type sensitive, auto-versioning file system
Arthur Müller, Sebastian Rönnau, Uwe M. Borghoff · 2010
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.
