How do I verify backups are ok?

Post by Josh » Thu Sep 04, 2014 11:28 am

Hi all,

Is there a command I can run to verify that my backups are okay? I run incremental backups nightly and want to make sure I'll be able to restore from them!

Thanks!
Thank you!
Joshua

During backup, vbr.py will perform minimal file checking confirming the file size and time of last modification. You can use rsync with vbr.py which will use the md5 checksum to determine whether files are identical before and after network transmission.
