Let me take a stab:

  1. Each snapshot represents one folder or file.

  2. GUI does not support verifying integrity of snapshots yet, but it’s indirectly done as part of maintenance. Unfortunately errors are not shown in the UI yet.

Using command line you can verify all snapshots with:

$ kopia snapshot verify --all-sources

  1. CLI and UI will only show the percentage completed and estimated time. Throughput can be derived from the amount uploaded and time spent so far, but it’s more complicated since some files are not uploaded if not necessary. I’ll be happy to review PRs to improve the output.

  2. GUI and CLI operate on the same set of configuration files and can be independently installed. It so happens that GUI version actually ships with a private copy of the CLI, which is used as a server.

It can be found in:

  • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\KopiaUI\resources\server\kopia.exe on Windows
  • /Applications/KopiaUI.app/Contents/Resources/server/kopia - on macOS
  • /opt/KopiaUI/resources/server/kopia - on Linux
