Persistent storage file change tracking
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates synchronization between a mobile device and a source comprising:
- a file change tracking database table as part of a non-volatile storage medium, the file change tracking database table employs attributes of filing system(s) to select files for synchronization; and
a file modification logger that interacts with an operating system (OS), to supply information about modified files to the file change tracking data base.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies that facilitate synchronization of a mobile device with a source, via employing a file change tracking database table created in non-volatile memory to designate files for synchronization. The subject invention includes a file modification logger that detects and track changes to files across multiple file systems. The file change tracking database table has a plurality of columns such as: a unique identification column that identifies a file, a file name, previous time the file was changed, and previous time the file was synchronized with a particular machine. A list of files that have changed between a current time and an earlier time can be designated for synchronization, by evaluating when was the file last changed and/or synchronized with a source device (e.g., a desktop, lap top and the like.)
