Re:Restic – Backups Done Right

Note that `restic check` only verifies that the repository metadata is correct, and doesn't detect, say, bit swaps in actual packfiles, which would render your backup unrestorable. You might be interested in the `--read-data` or `--read-data-subset` flags to help double check your backups!
