TX1-generated packed log files (extension “tx1_packed_log”) can also be viewed directly
on TX1. These files are used as input for Restore and Verify jobs. Being able to view
these files before starting one of those jobs can help ensure the desired file is selected.
Note: Viewing large text files (larger than 256 KB) results in undesirable screen update

use in a forensic analysis tool such as EnCase Forensic to see the full contents of any
