Editing Archive.dat

= Files =

PS4 BAR files are similar in all ways to PS3 ones except that there is no index file. Indeed, archive.dat in PS3 was the index file. PS4 archive.dat might represent PS3 archive00.dat.

* /dev_usb0/PS4/Export/YYYYMMDDTTTT_00/archive.dat << This is the starting index which might be an encrypted index after the files have been added >>
* /dev_usb0/PS4/Export/YYYYMMDDTTTT_00/archiveXXXX.dat << the rest of your backup will go here til archive9999.dat >>

Remark: << The "_00" suffix in the "YYYYMMDDTTTT_00" directory name pattern might imply that if a certain amount of data is reached on the backup leading to overflow of 9999 in the filename archive9999.dat then another directory named "YYYYMMMDDTTT_01" would be created.

== archive.dat ==

* Is it encrypted with the PS4 [[Console ID]]?
