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.
