These files are found by comparing

properties of current filenames on the

system with those saved in a FW

catalog file.

When a file isn't missing or extra, it's

current status is again checked against

saved data:

Date & Time: Windows Stamp

Size: Bytes

RSA MD5: Calculated internal file signature.

This means it was not accessible via

Windows (not  DOS compatible.) Shared

Netware and/or MAC volumes may have

some un-scannable folders. If a file is

not accessible, you may want to

CHKDSK or ScanDisk for errors.

If a folder/file is inaccessible or any other

problem occurs it is noted in the log file.
