As for tools designed to embed data to assist in recovering from or at least minimizing loss of data due to media errors, including in concert with compression: In the free world right off the top of my head, dar and xar. And dar just uses parchive which you could use seperately with something else too. And any of the official backup programs (amanda, zmanda, bru, bacula, arkeia, ...?) And basically any of the commercial programs. I wonder why not on free software. Amanda and Bacula are free software the last time I checked. And they have those features we are refering to, like automatic error detection and recovery?
No, all these use a backend for the actual archive process. If the backend you use is trusted then the resulting solution is trusted. As I recall the *default* backend for most of these solutions is tar, but you can change it [in most cases, I believe]. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
