so is this an alternative to multipar / quickpar / par2 from the usenet days?
Looks good. I always try to build redundancy into my offline backups, as if the given backup in my hand is the last backup that hasn't been cooked / melted / flooded etc. ...because one day, it just might! Talking about worst-worst-case scenario, with triple redundancy of online-offsite (can be ransomwared), offline-onsite (can be flooded/burned), and online-onsite (1st line of defense, ie syncthing or a nas)
