SnapRAID is a backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of | |||||
your data and it recovers from up to six disk failures. | |||||
SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media center, where you have a lot of | |||||
big files that rarely change. Beside the ability to recover from disk failures, | |||||
the other features of SnapRAID are: | |||||
* You can use disk already filled with files, without the need to reformat them. | |||||
You will access them like now. | |||||
* All your data is hashed to ensure data integrity and to avoid silent | |||||
corruption. | |||||
* If the failed disks are too many to allow a recovery, you lose the data only | |||||
on the failed disks. All the data in the other disks is safe. | |||||
* If you accidentally delete some files in a disk, you can recover them. | |||||
* The disks can have different sizes. | |||||
* You can add disks at any time. | |||||
* It doesn't lock-in your data. You can stop using SnapRAID at any time without | |||||
the need to reformat or move data. | |||||
* To access a file, only a single disk needs to spin, saving power and producing | |||||
less noise. | |||||
