Please look at the bottom of this page (under Support Policy Summary) for our support policy summary, containing important information regarding our working hours and our support policy. Thank you!

 

Upto Joomla! 3.10.12 we ran after download/FTP of the backup a CRC-Check with 7-Zip, to be sure that the backup is sound.

However that does not seem to work anymore as from Joomla! 4, Akeeba Backup Joomla! 9.6.2 ?

Can you recommand another way to check the health of the backup without using kickstart ?

Thanks

Hello,

the only way to be 100% sure if the backup is not corrupted is to extract it with Kickstart. This is for several reasons, but mainly because for large files we do not actually calculate the CRC (otherwise you would kill your server CPU usage), but we use a fake one.
