restic-check - Man Page

restic check [flags]

The "check" command tests the repository for errors and reports any errors it finds. It can also be used to read all data and therefore simulate a restore.

By default, the "check" command will always load all data directly from the repository and not use a local cache.

Exit status is 0 if the command was successful, and non-zero if there was any error.
