Archive set file names
when a backup is created on the VXH264D, a folder is first created on the backup device so that the operator can easily identify the
archive set at a later stage.
For example the folder, F:\ARCHIVE_100803_115810 is an archive set that was created on 3rd August 2010 at 11:58:10.
Each individual archive file is also named for easy identification.
For example, US_ch01_10803115532_10803115632_00_8mB_admin is a backup of channel 1 from 11:55 on 3rd August 2010 to 11:56 on
