Make two or more copies on different media. Sure, RAR or another archiver can save you from partial media damage but nothing saves you from total media damage other than having completely separate backups.
- nine_k 5y agoTwo copies is 200%, the redundancy records are normally below 110%. It's like RAID1 vs RAID5, only without the speed bonus of RAID1.
- ronjouch 5y agoYeah. They have a point, though, more copies is good too. To me it's a case of “why not both?”, and I remain interested in software free RAR alternatives with a RecoveryRecord-ish feature.
