What this file tool does

The validator identifies the JSON manifest among selected files, matches expected paths, checks sizes, and calculates SHA-256 only where the manifest supplies a digest.

The result is calculated from actual file bytes or metadata supplied by your browser.

Processing is local. Browser memory, file permissions, format variants, and device performance can limit very large jobs.

Supported inputs and limits

This tool accepts backup files and manifest. Unsupported structures are reported rather than guessed.

Environment	Modern desktop browser
Privacy	No upload
Output	New file or auditable report

Example and practical tips

Start with a small representative set so you can confirm the options and output format. Keep the source files until the downloaded result has been tested in its intended workflow.

For backup or integrity work, store the report beside the corresponding version so later checks remain understandable.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check whether a backup restore set is complete?

Select the manifest and backup files together, then run the validator to find missing or mismatched entries.

What JSON manifest fields are supported?

Use a files array with path or name, size, and an optional sha256 hexadecimal digest.

Will every selected file be hashed?

Only manifest entries containing SHA-256 are hashed, unless hash verification is skipped.

Does a valid set guarantee an application can restore it?

No. It confirms the listed files, sizes, and optional hashes, but not application-specific restore logic.

Are backup files uploaded for validation?

No. Manifest parsing and checks run locally in the browser.
