I need to know the significance and/or the ramifications of the "self-
correcting" data integrity check. What exactly is happening during the
"self-correction" during the backup? This almost sounds too good to be
true, as this could provide a reliable way to rebuild, reindex, or
whatever schemes are enacted the Newton data soups, is this a viable
known feature I don't seem to see mentioned anywhere? Need to know ;-)
TIA, John
