Dear duplicity community,
I am currently testing my backup in two ways:
(a) running a "duplicity verify" right after having created the
backup:
$ duplicity verify $DUPLICITY_OPTS --compare-data
file://$DEST/weekly/ /repos/TOBEBACKEDUP/
(b) (every week) copying the backup from the cloud to file://.../weekly/ and then using "duplicity restore":
$ duplicity restore $DUPLICITY_OPTS file://.../weekly/
/repos/restored/
-> (b) had already detected a checksum error when the backup on the cloud had not been uploaded properly.
Question: Is there a benefit of additionally using "duplicity
verify" on the downloaded cloud backup
(obviously without --compare-data):
$ duplicity verify $DUPLICITY_OPTS file://.../weekly/ /repos/TOBEBACKEDUP/
In other words: Is the purpose of "verify" that it only
temporarily stores the restored backup contents
(more convenient), or does it do something else that "restore"
doesn't do?
Of course I read the man page, but couldn't find this piece of
information.
Many Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix
