<H2>NAME</H2>

rsyncrypto_recover - recover all usable data from corrupted rsyncrypto filemaps

<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>

This manual page documents the <B>rsyncrypto_recover</B> command.
<P>

When the <B>rsyncrypto</B> command is used with the <B>--name-encrypt</B> 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 delimited
by a NULL byte.
<P>

A bug introduced in version 1.07 or <B>rsyncrypto</B>, and solved in version 1.09,
caused this file to be somewhat corrupted under certain circumstances, most notably
the use of the <B>--delete-keys</B> command line option.
<P>

It is important to note that the only records corrupted are records that were due
to be deleted anyways. <B>This bug did not result in any loss of actual important data.</B>
It did, however, leave behind a file that <B>rsyncrypto</B> then refused to open.
<P>

<B>rsyncrypto_recover</B> will read in a file map, and output to the standard output
only those records that are valid.
