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 de-
     limited 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 circumstances, 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 ac-
     tual 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 out-
     put only those records that are valid.

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