For my own benefit, I ported @defuse's backup verifier script to Go. The lang from Google
See my blog post for my thoughts on making this.
Backup verify script.
Usage:
vfy [options] <origDir> <backupDir>
vfy (-h | --help)
This program compares two directories recursively, and alerts the user of any
differences. It compares files by size and **optionally** by a random sample of
contents. The results are summarized into a difference percentage so it can be
used to easily determine if a backup is valid and recent.
Options:
-v, --verbose Print what is being done
-m, --machine Output summary in machine-readable format
-x, --one-filesystem Stay on one file system (in <original>)
-s, --samples COUNT Comparison sample count [default: 0]
-h, --help Display this screen
- Setup Go, you can read how here
- run
go get github.com/redragonx/vfy-go - cd into the src dir and run
go install - If done properly, you can run the program anywhere.
