Health check bit rot

[Diana1]

Hi,

Can someone tell me if the health check function is capable of replacing other bit rot detection methods? Lets say i have a cryptomator vault on my desktop which syncs to my cloud and hdd automatically. If bit rot happens on my desktop and one day i do a health check on the desktop vault will it detect the bit rot? I am aware that health check does not restore files from bit rot but all i need is to detect it so i can restore from backups after that.

No, it is not capable.

No. Currently the health check does not contain a check where all data files are analyzed.
