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.
