I'm not sure I get this, or it's not the appropriate tool for the job.
What I'm after is a utility that can make a file with a list of checksums for files in a directory, have a single parity file(one per file, preferably the bare minimum needed to detect and repair minor corruption) and rebuild it if it's found to be corrupt during a manual or scheduled check. The files would be assumed good when the parity is first made so there should be no real hassle with wrong file sizes or offset data.
Is quickpar capable of this or am I better off looking at a different product?
It's basically for preventing and detecting corruption of large media files stored on a local drive. I just want to know that in X months/years time after it's written, there hasnt been a bad sector or some random corruption that may or may not be percievable.
Thanks.
