    Block Erasure Format - An extensible, fast, and usable file utility to encode and decode interleaved erasure coded streams of data.

  • SeqBox

    A single file container/archive that can be reconstructed even after total loss of file system structures

  • Super neat!! I currently take encrypted zbackup files par2 split them and then seqbox and burn them to M-discs.

    What is a better sequence of steps in your opinion?

    Erasure Code API library written in C with pluggable Erasure Code backends. Mirror of code maintained at opendev.org.

  • This is pretty cool and I appreciate the comparison to par2. I have a (personal) backup workflow using par2 now, and this looks like an interesting replacement.

    The dependency for doing erasure codes is itself pretty interesting[1]. It has a number of backends. I've used one of those, ISA-L, in the past at a major storage vendor for Reed Solomon parity blocks.
