Understanding shredding results in compressed files
When you open the compressed file, you see binary and text files that contain shredding results.
The name of the binary file indicates LDKC, CU, and LDEV numbers of the shredded volumes, and the number of times the system wrote dummy data to the volumes. For example, if a binary file is named 00-01-11-03.bin, the LDKC number is 00, the CU number is 01, and the LDEV number is 11. The filename also indicates that the system wrote dummy data to that volume three times. A binary file contains the first 512 bytes of data of a shredded volume (LDEV).
The file name of a text file appears as follows:
shred_finish-time-of-shredding-operation.txt
The compressed file is saved with the time zone setting of the SVP. If the compressed file is decompressed on the computer, the time stamp of the decompressed file appears with the time zone setting of the computer. The time stamp of the decompressed file might be different from the actual finish time of the shredding operation.
The text file contains the following summary information:
Results of the shredding operation (see Viewing shredding status with the Logical Devices window)
Contents of the dummy data
Shredded volumes
Start and finish time of the shredding operation
