Consistency Check Plan

The consistency check is a mechanism that helps to avoid data losses. If any discrepancy is found within a consistency check, a user is notified about objects that are missing on backup storage or there is a mismatch between object sizes or modification dates.

A consistency check can be created as a separate plan using the command line interface.

Create Consistency Check Plan

Use the acc (or addConsistencyCheckPlan) command to create and configure a separate plan that performs consistency check.

Command Examples

Create the consistency check for both formats: the new backup format and the legacy backup format for storage account Local with no schedule:

C:\Program Files\MyCompany\Online Backup\cbb acc -a Local -ep MyEncryptionPassword

Create the consistency check plan for both formats at a specific time

C:\Program Files\MyCompany\Online Backup\cbb acc -a Local -ep MyEncryptionPassword -at "15:42" 

Note that the acc command only creates the consistency check plan. To run the consistency check plan, use the plan command:

C:\Program Files\MyCompany\Online Backup\cbb plan -r "PlanName"

Edit Consistency Check Plan

To edit the consistency plan settings, run the same cbb acc command again with the new settings. This command will create the existing plan again.
