redupe ====== This package provides several command-line tools for dealing with backup and longterm storage. It uses forward error correction to make small errors or bitflips easy to detect and correct. Replication is still necessary to protect against disaster or loss of data. redupe: Streaming tool that will add forward error correction in-line across large blocks (~1MB) of the file. The stream is not readable by the original application and must be recovered using reundupe. Prototypical use includes reduping encrypted tarballs to ensure a single bitflip does not render them irrecoverable. fecsum: Separable forward error correction. This will create a standalone file that, when coupled with the original file, can correct small errors in the fecsum or the original. Prototypical use includes creating a fecsum of large media files that need some protection against corruption but also need to be playable on-demand without creating a copy.
