Claim 8:
9. A folder scan system configured to identify modified folders in a storage module comprising a plurality of folders during an incremental backup scan, the folder scan system comprising:
an input module configured to receive an input comprising a modification time limit from a user;
a memory storing one or more processor-executable routines; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the one or more processor-executable routines to:
generate a filetype database comprising a list of filetypes in each folder of the plurality of folders;
generate a file modification database comprising a list of filetypes modified and a corresponding latest modification time for each of the modified filetypes;
check, at one or more times of the incremental backup scan, whether each folder of the plurality of folders contains a filetype listed in the file modification database;
after a filetype is checked as being listed in the file modification database, compare a latest modification time thereof to the modification time limit;
identify a folder as a modified folder if the latest modification time is less than modification time limit; and
scan the identified folder during the incremental backup scan.
