This program takes a set of files and generates a redundant file using the
|
|
exclusive or bit operation. Later, if any of the original files happens to be
|
|
lost or damaged, we can use the redundant file as a wildcard and regenerate the
|
|
lost file again. This process is similar to what RAID-5 does to protect data on
|
|
disk arrays.

The primary purpose of this tool is to protect author's photo archive stored on
|
|
a set of DVDs (which are not 100% reliable), but the program use is actually
|
|
universal.
