I just thought about the delta feature while testing around. One thing I'm still wondering is this:
When you dual-boot your PC and make some changes to the NTFS partitions from within Linux, does it still backup and restore all changes that were made outside of Windows?
So what I'm basically asking:
I know that Macrium Reflect used to have problems with these scenarios because their changed block tracking wasn't perfect. I submitted a support ticket to them about this and they told me they couldn't fix it because it apparently was a bug within NTFS-3G (a linux driver) and they need to contact that developer. I never heard from support again and later versions somehow fixed that AFAIK.
During my testing I couldn't find any problems with HBS so far so I'm wondering how it's done.
Thanks and keep up the good work on this amazing tool!!

So what I'm basically asking:
- Does HBS use any kind of drivers/services that need to be loaded in Windows to track changes correctly?
- Or does it figure out changes with the help of information from the Master File Table (MFT) or other NTFS properties?
