Recovery Star by artem-drobanov (Drobanov Artyom Fedorovich) and lkorolkov (Leonid Korolkov) is a 'RAID-Like Cauch Reed-Solomon File Codec' that also offers AES encryption.
It is designed to protect files on a CD/DVD from bitrot by splitting them and adding extra parity
You can set the number of volumes each file is split into and the redundancy as a percentage. So if you have it set to 3 volumes and you are protecting 2 files, 'test1.zip' and 'test2.zip', it will produce a series of 6 files (2 files to protect x 3 volumes each) named like:
- C000000020001.test1.zip
- C000000020001.test2.zip
- C000100020001.test1.zip
- C000100020001.test2.zip
- C000200020001.test1.zip
- C000200020001.test2.zip
The default is 256 volumes which is probably overkill for most files
Versions before 1.60 aren't compatible with later versions due to the addition of CRC-64
