dvdisaster

I've used this program before, and it works well. However, it's a huge mistake that such an important program, a data recovery program, hasn't been mentioned at all. What is this program, and what does it do? It's not listed here, nor on the official website. You need to explain to people what such a valuable program does.

Thanks for the program under a free open source license!

thanks man, great soft!

A great tool to make DVD backups/archives more reliable.

dvdisaster is fast and convenient for adding recovery data to optical discs. This adds a layer of protection especially for long-term backup on (often unreliable) optical media. Storing any important data for more than a few years on DVDs is quite risky and even having a second copy may not be enough, if both copies fail in similar ways. I have used Par2 before, but it works only on a file level, whereas dvdisaster works on whole disc images including directories. Par2 also cannot handle sub-folders at this time making it inconvenient for certain kinds of data.
