I’ve read the doco on the -check command in the Guide and i’m unsure how to use it to do a check that will actually find something wrong with the repository - except by using the -files command.
I would like to run a check on a monthly basis with the scheduling.
Some questions:
- I note that the instructions say that doing a -files check is presumably something that takes a lot of space, and takes a long time. The information about what -chunks does isn’t clear to me - would that be an effective check operation to identify issues with the repo?
- Can the check operation be performed on the backup server, instead of from the client?
- Is it safe to run the check operation in parallel with backups?
- I’ve read in the forum that checking just the latest snapshot is a good way to do it, but apart from manually specifying it in a command i couldn’t see how i could ask the WebGUI to do that.
- I can’t see how to schedule a check outside the rest of the backup parameters. I plan to backup daily, but
check
monthly. Is that possible?
Thanks
