Consistency Check Plan

The consistency check is a mechanism that helps to avoid data losses. If any discrepancy is found during a consistency check, the user is notified about objects that are missing on backup storage or about a mismatch between object sizes or modification dates.

A consistency check can be created as a separate plan using the command line interface.

Create Consistency Check Plan

Use the acc (or addConsistencyCheckPlan) command to create and configure a separate plan that performs a consistency check.

C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup\cbb acc 

To view the command help, use the following command:

C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup\cbb acc -?

Edit Consistency Check Plan

To edit the consistency plan settings, run the same cbb acc command again with the new settings. This command will recreate the existing plan.

Run Consistency Check Plan

To run the created consistency check plan, use the following command:

C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup\cbb plan -r "PlanName"
