SnapRAID
========
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 main features of SnapRAID are:
* You can start using SnapRAID with already filled disks.
You do not have to reformat or copy your data.
* The disks of the array can have different sizes.
You have only to use the biggest one for the redundancy data.
* 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.
