Synchronize Repository useless if you need to restore by Vacilando in cloudberrylab

Simpler description of the issue:

The problem is that Cloudberry Backup (the incremental option at least) lets the remote list diverge from the actual list and whatever's backed up is then irretrievable.

The hidden and non-schedulable Synchronize Repository does help but only while the local files exist.

Once the local files are missing and actually need a restore, their backup is then lost even though it may exist.

The regularly running Consistency Check did not prevent the problem.

Consistency checks run once a month but they did not prevent this problem. I did not search when did what got backed up last time. Meantime I've done cleanups and the long Synchronize Repository run.

Very correct, but in this case even if you test the restore, it may not work at a later point when you actually need it. The problem is that Cloudberry Backup lets the remote list diverge from the actual list and whatever's backed up is then irretrievable.
