Hi, is it possible to use the option “–dry-run” in the “duplicati-cli restore …” command, just to check if the local files are in the same state, like the backup set?
Regards
Fred
OK, I’l replay myself 
I have started some tests, and “–dry-run=true” has worked for “delete”, “backup” an the “restore” command as expected - it shows what would be changed and changes nothing.
Example for restore:
- One file in the filesystem has been deleted. “restore” with “–dry-run” shows which file is missing:
duplicati-cli restore “webdavs://dav.box.com//dav/DOC?auth-username=${BOX_USER}&auth-password=${BOX_PW}&disable-nagling=true” \
–passphrase="$ENC_PW" \
–block-hash-algorithm=MD5 \
–file-hash-algorithm=MD5 \
–log-level=Profiling \
–log-file=/var/log/duplicati/Documents_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).log \
–overwrite=false \
–restore-path=/vmdisk/TMP \
–dry-run=true \
/vmdisk/U/Install_DOC/
