SnapRAID is a backup program for disk arrays that stores parity information to recover from up to six simultaneous disk failures. It targets home media centers and large archives of infrequently changing files, offering data hashing, flexible disk management, and an optional daemon with web UI, SMART monitoring, and alerts.
Use cases
- protect a home media server array from disk failures
- recover deleted files from a disk array
- detect and repair silent data corruption (bit-rot)
- add disks of different sizes to a storage pool without reformatting
- schedule parity syncs and scrubs automatically
- monitor drive health and get alerts on disk errors
When to choose
- you have large, mostly static files like movies, music, and photo archives
- you want RAID-like redundancy without reformatting existing disks or locking in your data
- you need protection against more than two disk failures
- you want to recover accidentally deleted files to a previous state
When to avoid
- you need real-time redundancy for frequently changing files
- you require continuous uptime and immediate failover like RAID
- you need to protect the boot/OS drive or small actively-written datasets
