Hashed Files Dictionary getting corrupted

Post by DS_SUPPORT »

In our project all the hashed files were created using Directory path option, and so all the hashed files were created in different directory apart from the project folder. Suddenly, we found out all the dictionary items (D_* files) were missing from the hashed file directory, and we have restored them from our existing backups.

This happened twice and my client is worried about it now, he wants to know the reason behind corruption of dictionary files. Has anyone faced this issue before and what might be the reason for it?

Could be someone carelessly removed all D* files manually or by using a script.

There's nothing in the tool that does that. Find the culprit!
