jeffreywhunter Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Theoretical question. I believe (?) that the unraid parity service ONLY repairs an entirely corrupted disk, and does not repair files. Is that correct? If a file gets corrupted on the disk, then the ONLY repair for that file is a good backup. I use the unraid as a backup to my the files on my PC. I update unraid nightly with a full file by file backup using GoodSync. GoodSync does a CRC check on every file it updates on unraid. So I 'believe' I'm protected to a certain point. I have my working files on my PC, nightly backups to unraid and periodic updates of key data to off-line storage. And I also use Dropbox and Google Drive for files that need to be portable on multiple systems. So I get another layer of backup...but which is real-time...so only good for a bit... Any thoughts on a better strategy? Link to comment
