Missing integrity checksum validation after manual project backup restoration

NetBeans manages automatic file backups by creating .bak copies within the user configuration directory. While the IDE allows for the manual restoration of projects by copying .nbp and associated configuration files, the process lacks a native mechanism to verify the integrity of the recovered data.

A specific technical concern arises when a backup is captured while the IDE is active. In these instances, the restored state may be inconsistent, reflecting missing unsaved changes or corrupted project structures. Furthermore, the restoration process does not preserve original file timestamps, which can interfere with build tools that rely on file modification dates.

Is there a built-in command or configuration setting to perform a checksum validation on project files immediately after a manual restore? What is the most reliable method to ensure that .classpath and .project files were synchronized correctly without manual binary diffing?
