File System Metadata Analysis

File System Metadata Analysis is a systematic analytical method within digital forensics and storage systems research that examines structural, temporal, and access attributes of file system metadata to reconstruct historical file operations, detect anomalies, or infer user behavior, distinguishing itself from general file content analysis by focusing exclusively on data about files rather than file data itself.
