What would be involved in storing some extra data about the previous backup in the database?
To make use of the NT USN Change Journal, it could be useful to store the last USN at the time of the backup, and then give it back to the fd when the next incremental or differential is done, in a similar fashion to how the 'since' parameter works now. This isn't absolutely necessary, and given that the backup isn't atomic I'm not sure it would work out anyway (eg when do you record the current USN - at the start of the backup or at the end of the backup? Either way there is a potential to miss something). Unless maybe the VSS stuff could make it atomic? Hmmm.....
