[Borgbackup] How to test a remote fuse-based backup

[Panayotis Katsaloulis]

Hello people

I am trying to find a solution for inexpensive cloud backup, mainly using my favorite borgbackup technology.

The idea is to keep my backup on a onedrive server which, since it doesn’t support borgbackup (yet), I am going to use bcloud (as a fuse provider) and “local” backup.

The problem is that bcloud doesn’t seem really trustable (and rightly so). For this reason (and others) it recommends using caching. So the question is transferred “how to be absolutely sure that what borgbackup sent, is what was really sent to the server, and *how to properly check it*.

I tried using something like "borg check --verify-data” but it practically had to bring locally the whole backup, which of course doesn’t scale well.

Any ideas?
