NAME

       restic-check - Check the repository for errors

SYNOPSIS

       restic check [flags]

DESCRIPTION

       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.
