RSYNCRYPTO_RECOVER(1)	Rsyncrypto_recover User Manual	 RSYNCRYPTO_RECOVER(1)

NAME
       rsyncrypto_recover  - recover all usable data from corrupted rsyncrypto
       filemaps

SYNOPSIS
       rsyncrypto_recover badfile > goodfile

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents the rsyncrypto_recover command.

       When the rsyncrypto command is used with the --name-encrypt command,  a
       file  containing	 the mapping from the plain text representation to the
       encrypted file names is formed. This file mapping has a	strict	format
       of records delimited by a NULL byte.

       A  bug  introduced in version 1.07 or rsyncrypto, and solved in version
       1.09, caused this file to be somewhat corrupted under  certain  circum‐
       stances, most notably the use of the --delete-keys command line option.

       It  is  important  to  note that the only records corrupted are records
       that were due to be deleted anyways. This bug did  not  result  in  any
       loss  of	 actual	 important data.  It did, however, leave behind a file
       that rsyncrypto then refused to open.

       rsyncrypto_recover will read in a file map, and output to the  standard
       output only those records that are valid.

PARAMETERS
       badfile
	      A file map that contains some good and some corrupted records.
