Hey!

Is there any feature to take checksum of files?
Like md5, sha256sum...

I recently had two times the problem of system backups that run corrupted while file transfer.
It was first noticeable on restore, which I find to late.

So if someone knows a way, to check backup files before and after transfer, a note would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Hauke

Probably your backups were corrupted due to using FTP and having it in ASCII instead of BINARY mode.
You need to watch for that, and/or do it using scripting so that cannot happen.

Thanks for your reply.

I used ssh/sftp to transfer the files. I understood that binary is the default mode in fetch command in RoS.
For future I will explicitly put the switch for it.

Meanwhile, I encrypt the files with the password and check on a CHR if decryption is possible.
If yes, I assume content should be fine.
