Corrupted Files...

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?
