Hardware issues, or a bug in restic or its dependencies, could previously cause
|
|
|
|
|
corruption in the files restic created and stored in the repository. Detecting
|
|
|
|
|
such corruption previously required explicitly running the `check --read-data`
|
|
|
|
|
or `check --read-data-subset` commands.

|
|
|
To further ensure data integrity, even in the case of hardware issues or
|
|
|
|
|
software bugs, restic now performs additional verification of the files about
|
|
|
|
|
to be uploaded to the repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These extra checks will increase CPU usage during backups. They can therefore,
|
|
|
|
|
if absolutely necessary, be disabled using the `--no-extra-verify` global
|
|
|
|
|
option. Please note that this should be combined with more active checking
|
|
|
|
|
using the previously mentioned check commands.
