   "This tool will generate one parity file (plus a file for the recovery blocks) per file that you protect." Maybe I used it differently: I'd have a collection of dozens or hundreds of files, and if some small portion of those

    > That was a slow process but could store large amounts of data... I’d note that as then-large amounts of data. “520MB will fit on a 4-hour tape!” Danmere Backer was similar for PCs, with custom hardware; they got up to 4 GB a tape.
