Re: [Duplicity-talk] Checksums of fileparts on the remoteserver

[Dennis Schulz]

Okay, perhaps I have to say why I would like this feature. I transer my 
backups over FTP. And I
would appreciate if duplicity could determine tranfererrors after 
sending the files to the remoteserver
to be sure everything was tranferred correctly. So the 
XMD5-FTP-extension could do this. But
duplicity needs to support this in order to work. If some part is trash 
it could resend this part and check again.
I recently had some problems when mirroring those packets over FTP to 
another server.
I checked the MD5-hash manually to determine those files. About 80 parts 
had errors of about 1300.
