rclone cryptcheck

Cryptcheck checks the integrity of an encrypted remote.

Synopsis

rclone cryptcheck checks a remote against an encrypted remote. This is the equivalent of running rclone check, but able to check the checksums of the encrypted remote.

For it to work the underlying remote of the encryptedremote must support some kind of checksum.

It works by reading the nonce from each file on the encryptedremote: and using that to encrypt each file on the remote:. It then checks the checksum of the underlying file on the ercryptedremote: against the checksum of the file it has just encrypted.

Use it like this

rclone cryptcheck /path/to/files encryptedremote:path

You can use it like this also, but that will involve downloading all the files in remote:path.

rclone cryptcheck remote:path encryptedremote:path

After it has run it will log the status of the encryptedremote:.

If you supply the --one-way flag, it will only check that files in the source match the files in the destination, not the other way around. This means that extra files in the destination that are not in the source will not be detected.

The --differ, --missing-on-dst, --missing-on-src, --match and --error flags write paths, one per line, to the file name (or stdout if it is -) supplied. What they write is described in the help below. For example --differ will write all paths which are present on both the source and destination but different.

The --combined flag will write a file (or stdout) which contains all file paths with a symbol and then a space and then the path to tell you what happened to it. These are reminiscent of diff files.

• = path means path was found in source and destination and was identical
• - path means path was missing on the source, so only in the destination
• + path means path was missing on the destination, so only in the source
• * path means path was present in source and destination but different.
• ! path means there was an error reading or hashing the source or dest.

The default number of parallel checks is N=8. See the --checkers=N option for more information.
