Optimize or integrity check when rebuild key file utility - Does anyone use these selection options when running this utility???

I used to use optimize when we had the 2gb limit - I think it resizes the file after a purge of data. I've tried integrity check a few times but it has never reported back any problems and I've never really understood what it is checking for.

1st thing to know is if you check one or both options then that's what it does instead of rebuilding. There should be radio buttons instead of checkboxes to make that clear. Integrity check checks for only a small subset of types of corruption so it's usage is pretty limited as in worth skipping. Optimize came from a request from the Support Dept. It creates a new empty file then copies all the data from the original file. It's a good option. It does what @DavidOverholt said.

I remembered this post from @AlnoorCassim, in case it helps. https://90minds-com.socialcast.com/messages/13293868

An oldie but goodie. Thanks for posting @BrettZimmerman. Great memory!
