| Summary : Parchive: Parity Archive Volume Set
|
Description :
The idea behind this project is to provide a tool to apply the data-recovery
capability concepts of RAID-like systems to the posting and recovery of
multi-part archives on Usenet. With a parity archive, this tool, and all but
one part of a multi-part set you can recover the missing part.
The key to this mission is a clean file format specification which provides all
the necessary capabilities for programs to easily verify and regenerate single
missing parts out of a set of archives.
We might just be able to make binary posting and downloading on Usenet a little
easier. That\'s a pretty cool goal!
