Checking image files
Posted: Sat May 21, 2016 4:26 am
Hi,
it seems consistency check is only available in CLI mode. But I have a question regarding what it really does.
I have a set of image file
Y700-HDD_20160508_202947_n.rdr ; n=1 to 6, #1 is a full backup, #2 to #6 are incremental ones
If I create a script containing
check -a Y700-HDD_20160508_202947_6.rdr
Will it check just the #6 file or all files from 1 to 6 ?
It would be nice too if check could be integrated within the GUI or launched automatically after image creation. Unless I missed something.
Thanks.
Edited : oops, I missed the Check Image Button right on the main GUI windows... So much for that question. And also the option to check it after creation. I happened to come across a faulty Samsung M3 USB3 HDD that corrupted almost every image I created on it and without any warning. Now I will check the images as often as I can.
