N2WS-20407 - FLR file corruption

Issue:

Due to recent changes in Cloud API's, the following possible issues may occur when using File Level Recovery:

1) Some files/folders may be missing from the view.

2) Some files may be recovered with an incorrect content (unbeknownst to the customer).

Solution:

Patch for v4.0.0a/v4.0.0b/v4.0.0c is available and attached to this KB. 

Note: the snapshots themselves are unaffected, it is only during FLR that the files get incorrectly shown/downloaded
