NAME

restic-check - Check the repository for errors

SYNOPSIS

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.
