Thanks, that is one way to do it. But if you don’t know about par2 (sorry, I can’t tell from what you’ve said) it’s worth chasing down. It is way, way beyond checksums in what it can do.
It’s an old project and information on the internet is getting thin but the math is sound, the tool works, and there is a wikipedia page:

Edit: btw use of par2 files can be added on as an extra step with minimal storage overhead, without replacing anything you have now.
- Cyph0n 4y agoI’ve heard of par2 through Usenet, but I’ll definitely do some more reading. Thanks for the pointer!
