What does consistency mean?

[DaveL]

I was restoring some offline clips in Mync, and got a warning that the files are not consistent.
They are the same files, and restore OK, so what does "not consistent" mean, and is it important? Can't find anything (meaningful) in the manual or in a search.
Does anyone know? Thanks

Hmmm. I haven't seen that one.

It appears every time you do a restore off-line clips. Two columns appear for each clip, one for "consistency" and one for "Restore."
Usually each clip has a check for consistency in the consistency column, and then after the restore, a check in the restore column as well.
For some reason when restoring some clips recently, I did not get the consistency check-mark, and a warning appeared asking if I wanted to restore without "consistency."
It would be nice to know what that means so I know if something is messed up.
Anyone know what it means?
Thanks
