SnapRAID is a backup program for a disk array using redundancy.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SnapRAID uses a disk of the array to store redundancy information,
|
|
|
|
|
and it allows to recover from a complete disk failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media server, where you have
|
|
|
|
|
a lot of big files that rarely change.

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
* The disks of the array can have different sizes.
|

|
|
|
* You can add more disks at the array at any time.
|
2011-03-12 23:21:32 +01:00
|
|
|
* If you accidentally delete some files in a disk, you can
|
|
|
|
|
recover them.

|
|
|
* If more than one disk fails, you lose the data only on the
|
|
|
|
|
failed disks. All the data in the other disks is safe.
|
|
|
|
|
* It doesn't lock-in your data. You can stop using SnapRAID
|
|
|
|
|
at any time without the need to reformat or move data.
