Greetings all,
I have been wondering how to ensure, that data transferred to and stored at a backup server in a network comprising heterogeneous OSs/file-systems, e.g., from OpenBSD/ffs to FreeBSD/ZFS, are identical to the original data.
Please note that I am not asking about ensuring integrity of the backed-up data for long term storage, just ensuring that the transfer and storage at the backup server did not introduce any corruption.
Edit: After I have written the above, I started to wonder if I have not been too strict in separating the transfer/integrity verification and long term storage, i.e., should both not be integrated, e.g., prepare the original data for long term storage - PAR, non-solid archive with redundancy, then transfer such data and verify integrity.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Kindest regards,
M
