Hi,
Â
I noticed that secondary drives do not appear to have USNJournal's within the $Extend folder. Do they have to be manually enabled? Or does Windows just enable USNJournaling by default on the OS drive?

USNJournal is (according to Microsoft) associated with taking a backup of a volume (a.k.a. File History). An USNJournal is not necessarily created automatically -- and it can be deleted by an Administrator, and won't get automatically created/recreated by the operating system itself. (Not sure what happens if you configure File History to be active for a volume, and then delete the journal.)
Not sure where File History keeps its config data, but that should not be impossible to figure out if you can't access the application itself.
