It would be nicer if we can convert a USN into a timestamp with 
microsoft API.... Or if it's impossible, i think that we can manage this 
information localy and have this information in the state file.

If it works well, after the vss snapshot, the journal shouldn't change 
anymore.
So, it should be quite easy to get start and stop USN.
