Verifying
Reading an archive back against its manifest.
Every archive carries a manifest of every file and its checksum. /uxmbackup verify <id>, or a click on an archive in
the archives window, fetches the archive from the first storage that holds it and reads every
file back against the manifest.
| Answer | Means |
|---|---|
verify.whole | Every file is there and matches, with the count checked |
verify.broken | How many files are missing and how many are damaged |
An in-place restore verifies too: an archive that is not whole is never put over live data.
/uxmbackup info <id> lists what one archive holds and how big it is without reading every file.
