 The check command verifies the consistency of a repository and its archives. It consists of two major steps:<br>
 . Checking the consistency of the repository itself. This includes checking the segment magic headers, and both the metadata and data of all objects in the segments. The read data is checked by size and CRC. Bit rot and other types of accidental damage can be detected this way. When checking a remote repository, please note that the checks run on the server and do not cause significant network traffic.<br>

 Do not confuse data integrity of an ARCHIVE in a REPOSITORY with data integrity of the backup source (your file system on the server where the data from which the backup is made is stored).<br>
 <b>Borgbakup does not in any way guarantee the integrity or bitrot of the backup source data.</b> Only integrity checks are performed on the data backed up in the REPOSITORY. If the data is corrupted at the source, it will end up irreparably corrupted in the backup.<br>

 Borg does not automatically compact segments in the //REPOSITORY// at commit time (at the end of each write command to the repository). This causes the repository to behave similar to if it were in add-only mode most of the time. Repository space is not immediately freed when deleting or deleting files.<br>
 <b>The user can choose when to run the compaction, it should be done periodically</b>, but not necessarily after each backup.

 Accessing an encrypted repository requires the repository's encryption key in addition to the passphrase. By default, the plugin stores the encryption key in the /root folder. If you are forced to reinstall OMV and lose this key, you will not be able to recover the data from the repository.<br>
 <b>Download this key and keep it in a safe place along with your passphrase</b>, for example a password app like KeePassXC installed on your PC.

 The second step is to create a //ARCHIVE//. Since we have different timing needs for Mary's and Peter's folders we will need to create two separate //ARCHIVES// that will be stored in the same //REPOSITORY//. Each of them defines where the content we want to back up is, how often and how many versions we want to maintain.
