Description

Items are created in the FileOfFiles file when a file is restored or created.

The item-IDs are sequential file numbers assigned when the file is created.

The numbers of the files are determined by the order in which they are restored or created.

When a file or account is restored, the files are recreated in the order in which they were saved on the file-save media.

The item restored, contained in the dictionary of the FileOfFiles file, contains the time in attribute 1 and the date of the last full restore in attribute 2. This item should not be deleted or modified.

Note: The FSI FileOfFiles has no logging mask attribute similar to attribute 17 in the VME File-of-Files file. To turn off clear-file logging for an individual file, either create it with an (F option or change the d-pointer to DF using set-dptr +f filename.
