I have deleted some files most of sizes around 20MB from the repository to see Kopia behavior with errors, however I was able to recover all files with no errors, restored files also aren’t corrupted and no files are missing

How is that possible?

Note that I have data correction overhead disabled

Did you also delete the cache?

I didn’t actually know there was a cache, especially that is was a local repository (for testing)

I think KopiaUI is not comprehensive when compared to CLI
