John,

Yes, I have thought of the change history aspect. Even if you run a new snapshot every minute, you will still miss changes.

Even though changes will be missed, an auditor should be able to reconstruct the events leading up to final change by examining the change control history.

If the results are different, then unauthorized changes likely took place.
