no, it will just compare the adler32 checksums that were created during backup against the data files in the directory.

Thanks for explaining about lvm. I never used it in real live. Makes sense. Have to learn / try more ... Sorry for asking again about When I run this a folder "verify" is created in pwd and qcow2 images are recovered in there (on Debian Bookworm).

Hi abbbi,
Just two small things according the documentation.
Therefore you use:
virtnbdrestore -i /tmp/backup/vm1 -o verify
As far as I see that will make a full recovery into folder "verify".
/dev/nbd4
(up to 4:39) as serving location for the backup. Afterwards (from 4:40) you are mounting/dev/mapper/almalinux_alma8-root
to/mnt
. My small brain misses a link between/dev/nbd4
and/dev/mapper/almalinux_alma8-root
.I'm still getting into virtnbdbackup, but as far as I see it's a really great tool. Many thanks!
Greetings
Martin
