Description

Large collections of mostly static files can be protected with parity and checksums without converting the disks into a traditional live RAID array. This is useful for media archives, backup disks, and home servers where data changes in batches.

The tool can verify, sync, and recover data, but incorrect commands or stale parity can affect recovery expectations. Users should understand the storage layout before relying on it as part of a backup plan.
