Is there a risk of messing things up by using validate in Quicken?

Just back up first. You can do anything you want if you just back up first.

OK, I backed up and then ran validate. It did its thing and - although it
does not seem to have changed any of the totals or balances, it created a
log file which shows things where it "Fixed damage for account .....".
Without exception all the lines (they are a great many) consist of
variations on the following:

Found backfill cash transaction: " 'acct name' 'equity name...' " 7/31/2006
"Balancing Cash Adjustment"
Found ex information for backfill cash transaction.
Found backfill pair with id: 31558

followed by:

QEL:
No read errors.

QEL:
All internal consistency checks passed.


What do I do with this logged data? Is it something I am doing wrong that
has caused all these errors?
