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.
