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.

The attributes in the FileOfFiles file are:
