I have almost 500k files. Everyday at 5 am. in the morning Robomirror is doing backup - only files that changed from last backup. How Robomirror knows which files has changed? Is it using database or it just compares file one by one (time consuming)?

RoboMirror doesn't do anything in this regard, this is all done by Robocopy. It basically uses the file system as database, comparing file sizes and last-modification time-stamps etc. You'll find more infos on the web if you're really interested in how Robocopy works.
