Aaru produces various files; not sure all are needed. Might be possible to fine-tune this, needs some further investigation.

    I can see the following files:

    • e03214b4-294d-11ed-8943-b526c822f2c0.cicm.xml - metadata file. Contains various checksums, filesystem and fle-level metadata, media type etc.
    • e03214b4-294d-11ed-8943-b526c822f2c0.resume.xml - resume mapfile (analogous to ddrescue map file), can be turned on/off using -r / --resume option (default is on).
    • e03214b4-294d-11ed-8943-b526c822f2c0.log - dump log
    • e03214b4-294d-11ed-8943-b526c822f2c0.error.log - error log

    The above are all written as part of Dump.cs. Then there are also (but not in Dump.cs):

    Can't find any documentation about the .bin files, what they mean, and how to disable their creation.

    Main question:

    • Do we keep the .bin and .ibg files or delete them? They're quite small, so leaving them in is no big issue, but might be a source of confusion further down the processing line.
