tarExtract pipeline error: Invalid tar header

[p44]

@nottheend ok thanks a lot

[p44]

Again, handling a "tarExtract pipeline error: incorrect header check" issue... on a different backup... very very sad for this... I hope you can release soon a solution because is risky to store backups that then cannot be restored @girish

[girish]

@p44 for encrypted backups, not sure what is the expected behaviour. If the backup is corrupt or password is forgotten, one cannot recover. What do you have in mind? What do you think Cloudron could have done? (or was your note about adding periodic integrity checks?)

@girish

Periodic integrity checks – for example, verifying the backup archive and reporting issues proactively – could help discover corruption early, before a restore is needed. This would give admins a chance to re-run or fix backups in time.

What do you think about such a feature?
