`restic check` reports packs that aren't referenced in any index, is my repository broken?
|
||||||
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When `restic check` reports that there are pack files in the repository that are not referenced in any index, that's (in contrast to what restic reports at the moment) not a source for concern. The output looks like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ restic check
|
||||||
|
Create exclusive lock for repository
|
||||||
|
Load indexes
|
||||||
|
Check all packs

pack 819a9a52e4f51230afa89aefbf90df37fb70996337ae57e6f7a822959206a85e: not referenced in any index
|
||||||
|
pack de299e69fb075354a3775b6b045d152387201f1cdc229c31d1caa34c3b340141: not referenced in any index
|
||||||
|
Check snapshots, trees and blobs
|
||||||
|
Fatal: repository contains errors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The message means that there is more data stored in the repo than strictly necessary. With high probability this is duplicate data. In order to clean it up, the command `restic prune` can be used. The source of this additional data is not yet known.
