1 year agoThis is what I use, will work with any filesystem (it writes hashes in hidden/dot files) and on any OS as long as Python is available: https://pypi.org/project/chkbit/
It runs ahead of my nightly backup. If it fails, the backup won’t proceed.
Edit: Because the script relies on hashing files, it uses tons of both disk IO and CPU when it runs, but the tradeoff is worthwhile to me.
I self-host https://miniflux.app/ and it has been working great for my needs.
