Machine snapshot

Pipelines v1.6

 

.* Example by TenFiftyTwo(c).

Home

 
.* The following pipeline searches the entire machine for files. For each one found it writes a
.* record to the output file: snapshot.txt. The output file contains a snapshot of the files
.* on all drives connected to the machine.
 
.* You might collate the output of separate runs of this pipeline to determine which files on 
.* your machine have changed in any given time period. The pipelines’ Snapshot1.ppl, Snapshot2.ppl
.* and ‘Collate snapshots.ppl’ which you will find in the Examples folder, together, perform this
.* very task.
