Extract Technical

Following process during extraction:

  1. Checks metadata file exists (if metadata file missing, (read this)[metadata.md])
  2. Checks user-defined output directory exists. If not specify, working directory used as default
  3. Checks checksums of parts against metadata file
  4. Deletes any damaged parts - these are now useless and can cause issues restoring
  5. Erasure coding integrity checks
  6. Combination of parts
  7. Temp archive created by extracting parts, which is extracted then deleted
