Managing the VFS File Set

The VFS is comprised of a set of audited, key-sequenced TMF files. The names of the files are:

Since the names of the VFS files are fixed, there can be only one instance of a VFS in any given subvolume.

We strongly recommend that you regularly back up the entire VFS using standard Guardian-based utilities such as BACKUP or TMF.

Since the VFS contains sensitive information, you should take care to secure the VFS files (above) appropriately. See Securing Access to the Virtual File System for more details. The content within the VFS is secured through the Control Panel.
