About Transactional NTFS
Transactional NTFS (TxF) integrates transactions into the NTFS file system, which makes it easier for application developers and administrators to gracefully handle errors and preserve data integrity.
TxF can participate in distributed transactions that the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) coordinates, which allows you to use TxF for the following:
- Transactions that span multiple data stores, for example, a single transaction for file and SQL operations
- Transactions that span multiple computers, for example, a single transaction for file updates on multiple computers
