NAME¶
rsyncrypto_recover - recover all usable data from corrupted rsyncrypto filemaps
SYNOPSIS¶
rsyncrypto_recover badfile > goodfile
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents the
rsyncrypto_recover command.
When the
rsyncrypto command is used with the
--name-encrypt
command, a file containing the mapping from the plain text representation to
the encrypted file names is formed. This file mapping has a strict format of
records delimited by a NULL byte.
A bug introduced in version 1.07 or
rsyncrypto, and solved in version
1.09, caused this file to be somewhat corrupted under certain circumstances,
most notably the use of the
--delete-keys command line option.
It is important to note that the only records corrupted are records that were
due to be deleted anyways.
This bug did not result in any loss of actual
important data. It did, however, leave behind a file that
rsyncrypto then refused to open.
rsyncrypto_recover will read in a file map, and output to the standard
output only those records that are valid.
PARAMETERS¶
- badfile
- A file map that contains some good and some corrupted records.
