NAME
     bu_check_files - Verify the file integrity of backupuser(1) backups

SYNOPSIS
     bu_check_files [-u] [-d BACKUP]
     bu_check_files etc

DESCRIPTION
     The  bu_check_files utility is used to verify the integrity of backups cre-
     ated with backupuser(1). The script is meant to be copied to  the	location
     of  the  backups on the external storage device. When run, it will generate
     the reportfile ${USER}_report, which can then be compared with the  report-
     file on the original medium of creation.

     If  upon  invocation,  "etc"  is passed as an argument, then bu_check_files
     generates a reportfile for backups made of the /etc directory.

EXAMPLES
     Verify the integrity of our 2017 backups:

     cp /usr/local/bin/bu_check_files /path/to/external/storage
     /path/to/external/storage/bu_check_files
     diff /path/to/external/storage/user_report ~/backups/2017/user_report

BUGS
     Please report when found.
