<ROOT>\$LogFile

Overview

The $LogFile is part of a journaling feature of NTFS, activated by default, which maintains a low-level record of changes made to the NTFS volume.

Every disk operation is journalized prior to being committed. In case of failure, such as a crash during an update, the $LogFile can be used to revert disk operations.

Information of interest

As low-level operations are journalized, the $LogFile contains very limited historical data, usually only of the last few hours at most.
