Hi please need info. An example scenario, If any of the Duplicati files (example: duplicati-20201122T154439Z.dlist.zip or duplicati-b0db20b7c126147e5970171107dc80df0.dblock.zip ) on the backup destination is accidentally damaged or deleted is it possible to restore any of backup files or all backup are lost?
This chapter describes the process of restoring as much as possible from a backup that is inconsistent due to corrupted or missing files at the backend
When you lose a dlist, you lose that time’s view of files, but typically some nearby time will do.
A lost dblock affects files whose blocks it had. A dindex file is just an index of dblock contents.
The tool below doesn’t even use dindex files. It looks at dlist for files and dblocks for contents:
Duplicati.CommandLine.RecoveryTool.exe
This tool can be used in very specific situations, where you have to restore data from a corrupted backup. The procedure for recovering from this scenario is covered in Disaster Recovery.
