+SnapRAID
+========
+
+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:
+
+* 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.
+* You can start with already filled disks.
+* 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, a single disk needs to spin, saving power and
+  producing less noise.
+
