Journal files that get created by the “New log file” command are automatically named with a unique name. The name has the sequence number in it. Example: Datafile[0004-0034].journal. The first number between square brackets is related to the backup number. Each time you do a BACKUP the first number get’s incremented. The second number gets incremented with each call to “New log file”. > What my plan is to get a directory listing and then sort by date created It is not necessary to sort by create date. The journal files names are designed and formatted so that you can sort by file name and always get the oldest journal files first. Create date can also be problematic because if you copy a group of files from one server to another. Sometimes the create date and modify dates of files get changed. Sometime not. I’ve not figured out exactly what triggers this sometimes change to file creation/modification dates when coping between machines. No need to over complicate things. 4D designed the log file/mirroring system so that you can rely on journal file names for sequencing and to ensure uniqueness.
