Your computer crashed! Your data was not corrupted due to which feature of your NTFS system drive?

1 answer

The feature of the NTFS (New Technology File System) that helps to prevent data corruption during a crash is called journaling. NTFS maintains a log (or journal) of changes that will be made to files and directories. When a system crash occurs, NTFS can use this log to ensure that the file system remains consistent and recoverable after the crash. This journaling feature allows NTFS to track changes before they are committed to the disk, which can help protect against data loss and corruption. Additionally, NTFS includes features like transactions and other advanced recovery mechanisms that contribute to data integrity.
