![]() ![]() There is also a version that you can install if you prefer that. To use it, simply download the latest version from the developers homepage and start it after you have unpacked it to a directory of choice. It supports par, par2 and par3 files, and you can use it to create par files for data that you want to protect this way, or to repair data that was created earlier. MultiPar has been created as an alternative to QuickPar. If you set the par files to 10%, you can repair up to 10% corruption in all files in total. Once created, you can use them to repair any file damages up to the selected size. To make sure that you can restore files if parts become damaged, corrupt or unreadable in other ways, you decide to create parity files that you can use for that. Say you burn a backup to DVD, or move it to an external hard drive or other storage location. Par files can be used for other things, especially disaster recovery. ![]() I stopped using QuickPar some time ago as par recovery was built into my favorite news reading application Newsbin.īut that works only for Usenet downloads that come with parity files. If you have a 4 Gigabyte rar archive with 100 or so rar files and 10 Par files, you can use those par files to repair any damages regardless of rar file that is corrupt or even completely missing, provided the Par files are large enough for that. The beauty of the system is that you can use par files to repair damages regardless of where they happen. If there is, the archives will be repaired so that you can extract the data. Back then, I used the excellent QuickPar for all restorations. Basically, what you need to do is load a par file in the program to see if there is enough data available to restore damaged archives. ![]()
