SnapRAID
========
SnapRAID is a backup program for a disk array.
SnapRAID stores redundancy information in the disk array,
and it allows recovering from up to six disk failures.
SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media center, where you have
a lot of big files that rarely change.
Beside the ability to recover from disk failures, the other
features of SnapRAID are:
* All your data is hashed to ensure data integrity and to avoid
silent corruption.
* If the failed disks 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 start with already filled disks.
* The disks can have different sizes.
* You can add disks at any time.
* It doesn't lock-in your data. You can stop using SnapRAID at any
time without the need to reformat or move data.
