Hi! Would you so kindly answer my question? Is there anywhere a tool to check backup images are recoverable. I mean that image is not broken. Thank you for your future answer!

[your backup storage] > Contents > [backup file] > Restore and it should select a new ID automatically.Thank you for helping me. I have many vm's in two dc and I think about a tool that would check backups' validity automatically.
If you only want to check whether the compressed file is not corrupt, you could use a simple script decompressing the file to
If you want to test full restores automatically you could write a script using
/dev/null. For example, for an lzo-compressed image
Code:
lzop -dc vzdump-lxc-100-2020_04_30-09_45_02.tar.lzo > /dev/nullIf you want to test full restores automatically you could write a script using
qmrestore and qm destroy, where you'll have to be careful with the IDs you use. But of course there's a potentially big performance hit in doing so.
