  1. Re:md5sum on Ask Slashdot: What's a Good Tool To Detect Corrupted Files? · · Score: 1

    or sha1sum if you prefer. Automate in cron against a list of knowns.

    eg: $ md5sum /home/wilbur/Documents/* > /home/wilbur/Docs.md5 $ md5sum -c /home/wilbur/Docs.md5

    Definitely comparing md5/sha hashes against the backup files is the way to go. This will get every corrupted file regardless if the file has structural integrity.
