DESCRIPTION

12       brecsum  downloads the specified database(s) and computes a SHA1 check‐
13       sum on each raw record it finds.  The SHA1 sums are written to stdout.

15       This is mainly useful for verifying the integrity of restored data dur‐
16       ing testing.

OPTIONS

19       -d db  Specify  the  database  to download and sum.  This option may be
20              given multiple times to  fetch  more  than  one  database.   See
21              btool's  -t  option  to  retrieve  a  list  of databases on your
22              device.
23
24       -i     Include DB Name, Type, and Unique record IDs in the checksums.
25
26       -p pin Specify the PIN of the device to talk to.  Only needed if  there
27              are multiple Blackberries plugged into your system at once.
28
29       -P pass
30              Simplistic  method to specify device password.  In a real appli‐
31              cation, this would be done using a more secure prompt.
32
33       -v     Dump verbose protocol data during operation.
