FBWF Overview (Standard 7 SP1)

7/8/2014

Writing to storage media may be unwanted or impossible in embedded devices. FBWF redirects all writes targeted for protected volumes to a RAM cache called an overlay.

Because the File-Based Write Filter cannot be enabled while the system is running, the FBWF differentiates between the current session (since the last system restart) and the next session (after the next system restart).
