Am I actually required to make a recovery log for my non-solid archive? What happens if there is a bad sector later on? Can I still open the archive OR do all sectors get corrupted? If I have nested encrypted rars (like Rar1 > Rar2), should I create a recovery record in every single archive ("Rar1 + recovery" > "Rar2") or just the outer one ("Rar 1 + recovery" > Rar2)? How much minimum recovery log do I need to successfully repair them?
