    This seems to be something that a good backup/archive system[1] ought
    to be recording whilst it backs up files, so that one could simply run
    a check of all files on a system against those in the database.
    
    (For bonus marks, it could ring alarm bells when a file's checksum has
    changed whilst the timestamps remain the same. Or allow custom rules
    and queries to be implemented to monitor what has changed.)
    
    James.
    [1. Unfortunately. I've not met many good backup/archive systems.]
