Check jobs help validate stored backup data and should be planned separately from backup jobs.
Steps for Windows
- Open Schedule and select the intended schedule.
- Add a Check job for the relevant storage.
- Review its available options before first execution.
- Run the job and inspect its outcome and storage statistics.
How to verify the result
The check finishes without unresolved integrity errors.
A check cannot replace opening an actual restored file.
Why this matters
The practical goal is a recoverable Duplicacy revision, not just a successful-looking progress indicator. Keep your source, backup destination, Backup ID and necessary credentials documented. If this workflow changes your retention or storage configuration, verify a restore before applying it to important data.
