I'm wondering whether par files are protected themselves. I mean, if I use parchiver for backup purposes I would like to able to recover in the situation when both the original file and the par files are slightly damaged. What should I do? Should I create more par files? Should I create par files for par files? Or par files are already protected somehow (by themselves)?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

No PAR of PAR needed. If you want more protection, increase the number of recovery files.
