SnapRAID is a backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of your data and recovers from up to six disk failures. SnapRAID is targeted for a home media server, where you have a lot of large files which rarely change. Features: - All your data is hashed to ensure data integrity and avoid silent corruption. - If the disk failures 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 use disks of different sizes. - You can add disks at any time. - It does not lock-in your data. You can stop using SnapRAID at any time without the need to reformat or move data. Requirements: - None Configuration: Before using SnapRAID, you must create a configuration file. A template is provided at: - /etc/snapraid.conf.new Copy this to /etc/snapraid.conf and edit it to define your data and parity disks. Note: This package does not include the snapraid-daemon. If you wish to automate sync and scrub tasks with a Web UI, you should also install the snapraid-daemon package.
