What is Reddit's opinion of MultiPar?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Along those lines is multipar which can use CUDA if you have a Nvidia GPU. Rather large speed increase.

I use that before I burn content onto (DVD/BD recordable) disk for backup purposes.

Never seen that behavior before, but I rarely use QuickPar any more. I would suggest trying MultiPar instead of QuickPar. QuickPar has not been updated in a long, long time.

The way I sometimes do it is archive with 7z (or even zip) into multiple manageable parts, with or without compression, then par it with multipar in a similar way of a RAID setup, creating parity to recover up to a specific number of corrupted files. e.g: 10 parts, be able to recover the entire set up to 4 parts being corrupted.

You can also look into snapraid. While most of the use cases is to point it to the root of a drive, I think pointing it to a folder(s) would work just fine (may be wrong), since it's file-based, while dropping the parity file into another drive for resilience, unless that has changed.

If you just want 1-to-1 or 100% recovery, I would do a mirror of the set and create a checksum file. Store one copy of the checksum with the original file(s), then another somewhere else. Or you could also do doing binary comparisons every once in a while. For checksumming I used to use: https://corz.org/windows/software/checksum/

Regarding PAR, I think the PAR2 algorithm may be old, but multipar is still being maintained (latest 1.3.1.1 in github). Not to mention the widespread use in usenet.

Check out MultiPar. (It's Windows, sorry.) It can check and repair files. I use it at 10% when writing to BDs.

I presume it can run under macOS with an emulator, don't know of a direct port.

Something I didn't realise was that multipar.eu is a spammer site. The correct place is https://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA021385/ or the official forum https://www.livebusinesschat.com/smf/index.php?board=396.0
