<font size=5>Sample of batch script</font>
|

<hr>

|
|
||||||

<p> 
|
||||||
|
Because MultiPar consists of PAR clients and GUI,
|
||||||
|
it is possible to use a PAR client on Command prompt.
|
||||||
|
Read a manual of command line for the details of command and option.
|
||||||
|
It's available by batch file (or command script).
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Below are some samples of batch file for Windows 7.
|
||||||
|
Copy & paste the whole lines into a text file.
|
||||||
|
Modify the options for PAR2 files, and set the path of <tt>par2j.exe</tt>.
|
||||||
|
Write absolute path like;<br>
|
||||||
|
<code>SET par2_path="C:\something directory\MultiPar\par2j.exe"</code><br>
|
||||||
|
Read manuals (<tt>Command_***.txt</tt>) to know the detail of options.
|
||||||
|
Read Windows OS 's help for Command prompt's usage.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Save a sample script to a file like <tt>batch.bat</tt> or <tt>batch.cmd</tt>.
|
||||||
|
To specify path of files or folders, Drag & Drop them on the batch file.
|
||||||
|
When you put a shortcut icon of the batch file in "SendTo" menu,
|
||||||
|
you can call the batch file by selecting files then Righ-Click & SendTo.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If you want to confirm the result of scripting,
|
||||||
|
add "<code>PAUSE</code>" at the end of batch file.
|
||||||
|
If you want to see how each command line is parsed,
|
||||||
|
remove "<code>@ECHO OFF</code>" at the top of batch file,
|
||||||
|
or add "<code>ECHO</code>" in front of the questionable line.
|
||||||
|
These may help you understanding how batch script works.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If you want to switch flow by the result, you may use a special environment variable "<code>ERRORLEVEL</code>".
|
||||||
|
"<code>if ERRORLEVEL number task~</code>" means that the task will start when ERRORLEVEL is greater than or equal to the number.
|
||||||
|
"<code>if not ERRORLEVEL number task~</code>" means that the task will start when ERRORLEVEL is less than the number.
|
||||||
|
It's possible to refer the value by using "<code>%ERRORLEVEL%</code>".
|
||||||
|
The code is such like "<code>set err = %ERRORLEVEL%</code>".
|
||||||
|
When you want to refer ERRORLEVEL in "for ~ do ~" loop,
|
||||||
|
you must set a local variable as "<code>setlocal enabledelayedexpansion</code>" and use "<code>!ERRORLEVEL!</code>".
|
||||||

||||||
|
By this option, index file isn't created and filename has fixed volume number.
|
||||||
|
When joinning original archive and recovery data,
|
||||||
|
it is important to put original archive at first, then append recovery data at the last.
|
||||||
|
From the nature of ZIP / 7-Zip archive,
|
||||||
|
appended PAR2 recovery data has no effect to extract or decompress.
|
||||||
|
If you want to keep PAR2 file separately, comment out the line of "<code>DEL</code>" command.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
To verify the archive, just Drag&Drop it onto MultiPar short-cut icon.
|
||||||
|
(or right-click SendTo or ShellExtension works, too.)
|
||||||
|
On the MultiPar GUI,
|
||||||
|
the archive with PAR2 recovery data is shown as "Appended" status,
|
||||||
|
when the original part of archive is complete.
|
||||||
|
If you repair the archive, the archive returns to the original form.
|
||||||
|
(appended PAR2 recovery data is removed.)
|
||||||
|
When you want to keep the PAR2 recovery data,
|
||||||
|
you need to un-check an option "Delete damaged files after Repair".
|
||||||
|
Then the recovery data is renamed by adding "<tt>.1</tt>" after filename.

<p> 
|
||||||
|
There are some cautions.
|
||||||
|
Some binary/text editor seems to remove alternate data stream automatically at over-writing.
|
||||||
|
If you modify a file, you will need to re-add checksum to the new file again.
|
||||||
|
Adding checksum will update files' modification time, even though original file data isn't changed.
|
||||||
|
A user needs to use a special tool to see/delete/copy the stream, because those streams are untouchable by Windows Explorer.
|
||||||
|
While an alternate stream is kept at copy/move between NTFS drives, it will be removed on other file system.
|
||||||
|
For example, you cannot backup data in alternate stream on CD/DVD.

<h3>Batch processing after MultiPar GUI 's Verification / Repair</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
MultiPar GUI can start script after verification or repair.
|
||||||
|
The script file must be <tt>auto_v.cmd</tt> in the user's <tt>save</tt> folder.
|
||||||
|
A user may write any script in this file.
|
||||||
|
The script gets three parameters from GUI as below;<br>
|
||||||
|
<code>
|
||||||
|
%1 = Path of a recovery file<br>
|
||||||
|
%2 = Path of base directory of source files<br>
|
||||||
|
%3 = Exit code of the used client (refer the command-line manual)
|
||||||
|
</code>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
This sample script opens ZIP or 7-Zip archive only when it is complete.
|
||||||
|
To use this script, you need to create some recovery files for an archive at first.
|
||||||
|
At that time, the key is setting the base filename to be same as the source file like;<br>
|
||||||
|
source file's name = <tt>something.zip</tt><br>
|
||||||
|
recovery files' name = <tt>something.zip.par2, something.zip.vol0+4.par2, something.zip.vol4+8.par2</tt><br>
|
||||||
|
Thus, when you open the index file "<tt>something.zip.par2</tt>",
|
||||||
|
the filename without last extension becomes the name of source file.

When you start MultiPar without selecting a recovery file, this window opens.
|
||||||
|
On the window, you select source files and specify how to create new recovery files.

This directory is the folder where source files exist.

||||||
|
You may change this by clicking "Browse" button, Drag & Drop a folder, or double-click the path box.
|
||||||
|
When you select a new folder, all files in the folder will be selected.

You may add or remove source files by clicking those buttons.
|
||||||
|
By right-clicking the file-list, popup menu will appear.
|
||||||
|
To add files, "Drag & Drop" or "Copy & Paste" works, too.
|
||||||
|
Every files must exist under the base directory.
|
||||||
|
Though you can select files only in the parent folder for PAR 1.0,
|
||||||
|
you can select files in the parent folder and sub-folders for PAR 2.0.
|

</dd></dl>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Selected files are listed on the file-list, and the total data size and blocks are calculated.
|
||||||
|
PAR 1.0 supports upto 256 files, and PAR 2.0 supports upto 32768 files.
|
||||||
|
It is recomended to use archiver (ZIP, RAR, TAR or something) for many files.
|
||||||
|
In PAR 2.0, parent folders are treated as sub-directory in filenames.
|
||||||
|
Only empty folders (without files in them) are shown as folder in the file-list.

In PAR 2.0, you can split source files by checking this option.
|
||||||
|
The split size will be a multiple of block size, which is the highest size under than this limit.
|
||||||
|
Splited files are saved in the recovery files' path.

Append Recovery record

|
||||||
|
In PAR 2.0, you can append recovery record to an archive file (ZIP or 7z format).
|
||||||
|
This feature will join created PAR2 files at the end of a single source file.
|
||||||
|
While recovery record is attached, general archivers can treat the archive ordinary.
|
||||||
|
When you open the archive with recovery record by MultiPar, complete archive file is shown as "Appended".
|
||||||
|
Caution, if you repair it, attached recovery record will be removed.

<h3>Block allocation</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
For PAR 1.0, number of source blocks is same as number of source files (except empty file).
|
||||||
|
If their size are different each other, it will become inefficient.
|
||||||
|
When you treat such files of varied size, you should pack them into an archive,
|
||||||
|
and split it into pieces of same size, then create PAR1 files for the pieces.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
For PAR 2.0, many blocks are aligned in each source file.
|
||||||
|
After source files are selected,
|
||||||
|
ideal blocks are allocated automatically by your <a href="option2.htm#block_allocation">selected allocating method</a>.
|
||||||
|
You may change block size or number of blocks manually.
|
||||||
|
As you set more blocks, the speed will be slow down.
|
||||||
|
As you set fewer blocks, it will be inefficient to recover small damage.
|
||||||
|
For practical use, number of blocks would better be thousand or several thousands.
|
||||||
|
When you input block size directly,
|
||||||
|
you may type the size with unit like "KB" or "MB".
|
||||||
|
For compatibility, it's good to set less than 100,000,000 bytes (95 MB).

Though this will be set automatically, you may change it to favorite name.
|

After the base, volume number and extension are appended.

Redundancy
|
||||||
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
||||||
|
"Redundancy" is a rate of how much damage can be recovered.
|
||||||
|
For example, if you set 10% for source files of 500MB,
|
||||||
|
you will be able to recover damage or lost upto 50MB.
|
||||||
|
<b>Caution</b>, actual possibility of recovery depends on the distribution of damage.
|
||||||
|
In general, while dense damage in narrow area may be recovered with small redundancy,
|
||||||
|
sparse damage over wide area requires larger redundancy.
|
||||||
|
When you set 0%, only an index file to verify will be created.

When you want to fill CD or DVD with both source files and recovery files, this feature is useful.
|

You may select the media or input the writable size directly.

It is safe to set a bit smaller redundancy,

"Sizing scheme" is how are the size of recovery files.
|

When "<b>All the same size</b>" or "<b>Variable size</b>" is selected,

you can set the number of recovery files.

Then, the specified number of recovery files of same size or different size will be created.

When "<b>Powers of 2 sizing scheme</b>" or "<b>Decimal weights sizing scheme</b>" is selected,
|

the number of recovery blocks in each recovery file will be
|

"1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128..." or "1, 1, 2, 5, 10, 10, 20, 50...".

<font size=5>Basic use of MultiPar</font>

<h3>Compatibility with QuickPar</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
How to use is almost same as <a href="http://www.quickpar.org.uk/" target="_blank" title="http://www.quickpar.org.uk/">QuickPar</a>.
|
||||||
|
But there are some different behavior,
|
||||||
|
because the development environment and how to implement are different.
|
||||||
|
Moreover I added some useful features which QuickPar lacks;
|
||||||
|
such like supporting directory tree or preview before creation.
|
||||||
|
If you have a new idea, you may request by mail.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
While QuickPar's default settings are optimized for UseNet, they are different from those of MultiPar.
|
||||||
|
If you want to set similar setting as QuickPar, you need to change the following items from default setting;<br>
|
||||||
|
On [GUI options] page, in [<a href="option2.htm#unit_size">Restrict block size to multiples of the unit</a>] section,<br> 
|
||||||
|
select "<b>For yEnc: 3,000 lines</b>".<br>
|
||||||
|
On [GUI options] page, in [<a href="option2.htm#block_allocation">Block allocating method</a>] section,<br> 
|
||||||
|
check "<b>Limit Block count up to: 3,000</b>" and set "<b>Block size: 384,000</b>".<br>
|
||||||
|
On [Client behavior] page, in [Creation options] section,<br> 
|
||||||
|
check "<b>Don't search subfolders</b>".<br>
|
||||||
|
On [Client behavior] page, in [Verification and Repair options] section,<br> 
|
||||||
|
select "<b>For 15 days</b>" at "<a href="option3.htm#reuse_result">Re-use verification result</a>".
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
There are some different behavior between MultiPar and QuickPar.
|
||||||
|
Because MultiPar tries to select efficient block size to create PAR2 files,
|
||||||
|
initial block count may differ, even when the setting is same.
|
||||||
|
If you want "Recovery File Size: Variable (power of 2 sizing scheme)" in QuickPar,
|
||||||
|
select "Sizing scheme: Variable size" in MultiPar.
|
||||||
|
When you create additional recovery files against existing recovery set by "Extra",
|
||||||
|
QuickPar creates extra files without modifying original files,
|
||||||
|
but MultiPar re-creates all files by over-writing original files.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
The biggest difference between MultiPar and QuickPar is the support of multi-languages.
|
||||||
|
While QuickPar saves non-ASCII filename by a system specific character encoding,
|
||||||
|
MultiPar saves by UTF-8.
|
||||||
|
Then, QuickPar cannot read non-ASCII filename correctly which was saved by MultiPar.
|
||||||
|
In PAR2 clients, MultiPar and <a href="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline">par2cmdline</a> can support Unicode filename.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Because Peter Clements allowed me to use similer GUI with QuickPar,
|
||||||
|
I made MultiPar to treat Japanese filename.
|
||||||
|
I made English GUI for foreign users, who got failure in QuickPar.
|
||||||
|
When you have trouble using other PAR clients, MultiPar will help.
|
||||||
|
If you want to translate MultiPar's text or message, send mail to me.
|
||||||
|
MultiPar is used in many countries like;<br>
|
||||||
|
America, Belgium, China, Denmark, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Ukraina, and so on.

|
||||||
|
For those buttons, pushing "ALT-key" and [the under-lined character]-key at one time is same as clicking the button.
|
||||||
|
For example, "ALT+O" is same as clicking the "<u>O</u>pen" button.

While you are selecting a slider-bar of "Block Count" or "Redundancy" on Create window or Recreate window,
|
||||||
|
you may push these keys.
|
||||||
|
If you push "Page Up-key" or "Page Down-key", the slider moves largely.

<h3>Whether to change block allocation</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If you have set options in <a href="option2.htm#unit_size">"GUI options" page</a> properly,
|
||||||
|
no need to change, because efficient blocks are allocated automatically.
|
||||||
|
Only when you feel the number of blocks are too many or too few, you may adjust manually.
|
||||||
|
When you are using a slow PC or want to create quickly, it may be good to decrease the number of blocks.
|
||||||
|
If you know how many blocks are acceptable for speed,
|
||||||
|
you would better limit up to the block count at <a href="option2.htm#block_allocation">"Block allocating method"</a>.

<font size=5>How to design the recovery files</font><br><font size=1><br></font> 
|
||||||
|
After selecting source files, you design how the recovery files will become.
|
||||||
|
<hr>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>How much redundancy you need</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
The most important setting in creating recovery files is "<b>Redundancy</b>".
|
||||||
|
As you set more redundancy, it will be possible to repair,
|
||||||
|
but more time and space are required.
|
||||||
|
The required quantity depends on your circumstance;
|
||||||
|
like error rate of the saving drive or reliability of the network.
|
||||||
|
If you create as an insurance against rare incident, 5% or 10% may be enough.
|
||||||
|
If you get error often, you may require more, such as 30% or 50%.
|
||||||
|
If you want to protect seriously, backup source files and create recovery files.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
A whole file is lost by a human mistake like careless deletion or forgotten transport.
|
||||||
|
In this case, the problem is whether you have enough redundancy to reconstruct the whole file.
|
||||||
|
The measure is "<b>Number of files that can be fully reconstructed if missing</b>" on the bottom of Create window.
|
||||||
|
The "<b>Min - Max</b>" means that, how many files you can repair at least min and under than max.
|
||||||
|
The min should be 1 or more for safety.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>How is the efficiency</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
There is a measure of recovering capability,
|
||||||
|
that is "<b>Efficiency</b>" on the bottom of Create window.
|
||||||
|
Unless you have a trouble to keep saving space,
|
||||||
|
you don't need to take care usually.
|
||||||
|
When there is a big difference between settings,
|
||||||
|
you would better to select a efficient way,
|
||||||
|
but you can ignore small difference like several percent.
|
||||||
|
Because the possibility of repair is largely varied by distribution of damage,
|
||||||
|
it is worthless to aim for the best efficiency.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<hr>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>If you post the recovery files on UseNet</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
On Option window,
|
||||||
|
it is important to set <a href="option2.htm#unit_size">the unit of blocks</a> for UseNet.
|
||||||
|
Though it depends on the server, mostly it is "For yEnc: 3,000 lines" or "For yEnc: 5,000 lines".
|
||||||
|
No need to change other settings.
|
||||||
|
If you want smaller recovery files,
|
||||||
|
you may limit <a href="option3.htm#packet_repetition">repetition of packets</a> by selecting "<b>Upto 4 times</b>".
|
||||||
|
On Create window, you should select "<b>Powers of 2 sizing scheme</b>" at "Sizing scheme".

<h3>Way to start MultiPar after selecting a recovery file</h3>
|

|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If you have set options in <a href="option1.htm">"System settings" page</a>,
|
||||||
|
you can start MultiPar by selecting a recovery file.
|
||||||
|
This way is easier than opening a recovery file by pushing "Open" button after you start MultiPar.
|
||||||
|
Even when there are multiple recovery files of same set, you must select one of them.
|
||||||
|
If you happen to select multiple recovery files,
|
||||||
|
Create window may open, or multiple Verify windows will open.

<h3>Prepare to repair damaged files</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
While you may verify written files on read-only media like CD-R or DVD-R,
|
||||||
|
you cannot repair damaged files immediately.
|
||||||
|
When you repair files, you need to copy those files on HDD.
|
||||||
|
Even if they are damaged files or fragments of unknown filename,
|
||||||
|
you should bring all source files and recovery files to a folder on HDD.
|
||||||
|
To retrieve as many data as you can from the damaged media, you would better use "<b>File Salvager software</b>".
|
||||||
|
There are many shareware and freeware for the purpose.
|
||||||
|
Because "Data Recovery service" by a specialist company requires more money,
|
||||||
|
it's the last way to restore important data.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|

<hr>

|
<h3>If you cannot verify by incomplete PAR2 files</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
When some vital packets are missing in a PAR2 file, it will be hard to verify or repair.
|
||||||
|
But all kinds of packets may exist in multiple PAR2 files.
|
||||||
|
Because MultiPar will search other PAR2 files of same base filename in the folder automatically,
|
||||||
|
you should set same base filename for all PAR2 files of the same recovery set.
|
||||||
|
(Base filename is a filename except extension and volume number.)
|
||||||
|
When other PAR2 files are put in another folder, or are renamed to different base filename,
|
||||||
|
you must add them manually by "Add" button.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>If you cannot repair by a lack of available blocks</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Get more blocks as possible as you can.
|
||||||
|
If there is a same source file on different location, you should copy it or add it by "Add" button.
|
||||||
|
You need to find more blocks from the damaged media.
|
||||||
|
If you cannot recognize fragments are pieces of which source file,
|
||||||
|
you select "Additional verification" at "<a href="option3.htm#verification_level">Verification level</a>".
|
||||||
|
If there are old files of modified version in a previous backup, it is worth to add them.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
When a transported file had been damaged already, you cannot salvage lost data on your side.
|
||||||
|
If there are other recovery files, you get them, too.
|
||||||
|
If there is same file on another site, you may get it again.
|
||||||
|
Or, you may ask someone to give another set of recovery files.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>If you failed to repair, even when you have enough blocks</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Mostly this is caused by "exclusive file access" or "limited privilege".
|
||||||
|
While a damaged file or recovered file is being accessed exclusively, it's impossible to replace them.
|
||||||
|
An example is Anti-Virus scanner, and you may need to exclude working folder from real-time scan.
|
||||||
|
When status of a damaged file became "<b>Locked</b>" after failed repair,
|
||||||
|
the file is being used by another application.
|
||||||
|
Of course, you cannot repair (modify) a system file, which is protected by OS.
|
||||||
|
When repair was failed by a fault of PAR1/2 specifications,
|
||||||
|
you may solve the problem by getting one more available block.

<font size=5>Introduction to Parchive</font>

<hr>
|

|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
PAR is a clipped from Parchive or Parity Archive, which means container of parity.
|
||||||
|
Even if original files are damaged or lost,
|
||||||
|
it is possible to repair them by extracting the parity.
|
||||||
|
Two types of PAR files are made in same time.
|
||||||
|
While an index file contains data for verification only,
|
||||||
|
recovery files contain data for both verification and repair.
|
||||||
|
Normally they don't distinguish, and they are just called as PAR files.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<table>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td>Example of PAR1 files:</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><tt>Data.PAR</tt></td><td>Index file</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><tt>Data.P01</tt></td><td>First recovery file</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><tt>Data.P02</tt></td><td>Second recovery file</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><tt>Data.P03</tt></td><td>Third recovery file</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><font size=1> </font></td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td>Example of PAR2 files:</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><tt>Data.PAR2</tt></td><td>Index file</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><tt>Data.vol0+1.PAR2</tt></td><td>First recovery file, which contains 1 recovery block</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><tt>Data.vol1+2.PAR2</tt></td><td>Second recovery file, which contains 2 recovery blocks</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td><tt>Data.vol3+4.PAR2</tt></td><td>Third recovery file, which contains 4 recovery blocks</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
</table>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Though the index file is usable for verification only,
|
||||||
|
it is very smaller than recovery files.
|
||||||
|
The construction of recovery file is different between PAR1 and PAR2.
|
||||||
|
In PAR1, recovery data is calculated for a group of arrayed source files.
|
||||||
|
The requirement is simple like;
|
||||||
|
it requires 1 recovery file to restore 1 file, or it requires 3 recovery files to restore 3 files.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
In PAR2, recovery data is calculated for a group of allocated blocks in all source files.
|
||||||
|
While saving the recovery data,
|
||||||
|
it is possible to change the number of recovery blocks in each recovery file.
|
||||||
|
Thus, the required number of recovery files can be minimum by their required recovery blocks.
|
||||||
|
In above example, you need second recovery file to recover 2 blocks,
|
||||||
|
or you need first and third recovery files to recover 5 blocks.

Usually options are saved on setting file "<tt>MultiPar.ini</tt>" under MultiPar's install folder.
|
||||||
|
When MultiPar is installed under "<tt>Program Files</tt>" directory,
|
||||||
|
your setting is saved in "<tt>MultiPar</tt>" folder under each user's "<tt>Application Data</tt>" directory.
|
||||||
|
You may locate the folder at <a href="option1.htm#folder_location">"System settings" page</a>.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If you want to reset all options at once, delete the "<tt>MultiPar.ini</tt>".
|
||||||
|
If you want to reset every options on a page, push "Reset" button at the page.
|
||||||
|
If you want to reset a specific option only, just erase the line on the setting file.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
When multiple instances of MultiPar are open,
|
||||||
|
change of setting over an instance won't reflect to other instances.
|
||||||
|
If you want to enable the changed setting on another instance,
|
||||||
|
you need to re-open newly.
|
||||||
|
When you change different setting over some instances,
|
||||||
|
the result will be the sum of all changes.

You can associate MultiPar with these file types.
|
||||||
|
Their extensions are PAR1 (<tt>.PAR</tt>, <tt>.P01</tt>, <tt>.P02</tt>, <tt>.P03</tt>, <tt>.P04</tt>, <tt>.P05</tt>, <tt>.P06</tt>, <tt>.P07</tt>, <tt>.P08</tt>, <tt>.P09</tt>),
|
||||||
|
PAR2 (<tt>.PAR2</tt>), PAR3 (<tt>.PA3</tt>), and SFV/MD5 (<tt>.SFV</tt> and <tt>.MD5</tt>).
|
||||||
|
Before you check one of them, you should de-associate it from another application (like QuickPar).

|
||||||
|
This option adds <b>MultiPar</b> on right-click menu over <b>Windows Explorer</b>.
|
||||||
|
On the sub-menu, you click "<b>Create Recovery Files</b>" to create PAR files,
|
||||||
|
or click "<b>Verify Recovery File</b>" to verify files by the PAR file.
|
||||||
|
However this feature is similar to shortcut icon in [SendTo],
|
||||||
|
you can supply more files, because there is no limit of length as command line.
|
||||||
|
When only one folder is selected to create, the folder becomes base directory,
|
||||||
|
and all files in the folder will be selected.
|
||||||
|
When <a href="http://www.7-zip.org">7-Zip</a> is installed, it's possible to pack files, and create PAR files for the archive.

<h3>Program Shortcut</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Shortcut icon on desktop or [<b>SendTo</b>] menu is usable to start MultiPar for invoking Open or Create.
|
||||||
|
If you drop down a recovery file on the shortcut icon,
|
||||||
|
MultiPar will open the recovery file.
|
||||||
|
If you drop down some source files on the shortcut icon,
|
||||||
|
MultiPar will create recovery files for them.

<h3>Folder location</h3>

By pushing these buttons, you can open MultiPar related folders directly.
|
||||||
|
Though this feature is useful to refer documents, be careful not to delete important files.
|
||||||
|
The current user's temporary files and log files are saved in the user specific "<tt>save</tt>" folder,
|
||||||
|
and it is possible to erase those files in this folder anytime.

"<b>Auto</b>" is good normally.

Only when MultiPar fails to recognize a drive type, you may change this option.
|

To enforce random access mode on the drive (SSD or RAM drive), select "<b>SSD</b>".
|
||||||
|
To enforce sequential scan mode on the drive (HDD or Optical drive), select "<b>HDD</b>".
|
||||||

Because random access mode is very slow (and maybe harmful) on HDD,
|

you should select "<b>Auto</b>" normally.

|
||||||
|
source blocks are allocated for the files.
|
||||||
|
By this option, you can change the method of how to allocate blocks.
|
||||||
|
Everytime you add or remove files, blocks will be allocated by the selected method automatically.

Limit Block count up to

|
||||||
|
As there are many blocks, creation will require more time.
|
||||||
|
If you want to limit the number of blocks, set the max block count and check this.
|
||||||
|
Be careful not to set too few blocks,
|
||||||
|
because large block size will be inefficient to recover small damages.
|
||||||
|
In the era of CD or DVD, par2cmdline sets 2,000 blocks and QuickPar sets 3,000 blocks.

<dl><dt><b>
|

Rate (count / size)
|
||||||
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
||||||
|
This rate is block count divided by block size.
|
||||||
|
For example, setting "1%" for 10,000-bytes block size gives 100 blocks,
|
||||||
|
as "<tt>100 blocks / 10000-bytes = 0.01 = 1%</tt>".
|
||||||
|
This calculation method is ideal for widely varied data size.
|
||||||
|
As total data size becomes large, more blocks will be allocated, but the change is mild.

|

You may set preferred block size.
|
||||||
|
When you set unit size, resulting block size will be adjusted.
|
||||||
|
If you treat similar data size usually, this calculation method may be good.
|
||||||
|
Be careful about the result of too few or too many blocks.
|
||||||
|
</dd></dl>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Because MultiPar tries to find efficient allocation by adjusting block size,
|
||||||
|
the result may be different from your specified value.
|
||||||
|
If you want to get a specific block size always,
|
||||||
|
set "Block size" here, and select "No restriction on the size" on <a href="option2.htm#unit_size">above section</a>.
|
||||||
|
If you want to allocate blocks like QuickPar,
|
||||||
|
you need to check "Limit Block count up to" and set "Block size".

"Base Filename" is set automatically after you select source files at first.

The method of naming is same as QuickPar like;

(1) When there is only one source file, the filename is used.
|
||||||

(2) When there are multiple source files, the preceding common part of filenames is used.
|

(3) Else, the folder name of parent directory is used.

When new files are added or some files are modified, they are verified automatically.
|

|
After when a previous verification was ended by error, all files were complete,
|

or all files were repaired successfully, monitoring will finish.
|

|
If you want to cancel monitoring at any time, push "<b>Escape-key</b>".

If you are lazy to click "Repair" button everytime, this may be useful.
|

"<b>Simple verification</b>" is faster, when damage didn't delete or insert bytes.

"<b>Additional verification</b>" will check all files in the base directory.
|

When filenames of damaged files are different,
|

or when source files are contained in a non-compressed archive like ISO-image,
|
||||||
|
select "Additional verification" to add them automatically.
|

|
"<b>Aligned verification</b>" is the fastest, but it doesn't backup damaged files.

If you want to skip some part of verification at next time, set some period in this option.

When you open a recovery file at first, files are verified automatically and the result is saved.

When you push "Repair" buttom afterwards,

the result is re-used and most part of actual verification will be skipped,
|

then the speed becomes faster.
|

By default setting (<b>For a time</b>), GUI keeps the result until it is closed.
|
||||||

When you set a longer period (<b>For some days</b>), GUI keeps the result for the period.
|
||||||
|
<b>Caution !</b> with this setting you may see the <b>past status</b> of files.
|
||||||
|
If you want to see the <b>current status</b> of files, push "<b>F5-key</b>",
|

then all files will be re-verified newly.
|
||||||
|
The data files are "<tt>***.bin</tt>" or "<tt>***.ini</tt>" in "<tt>save</tt>" folder.
|

Though old results beyond the period are erased,

sometimes those files may become many and large,

then be careful about setting long period.

current samples won't be compatible with future PAR 3.0 specifications.

If you want to create PAR3 files which enables verification by PAR2 client, check this option.
|

|
PAR2 client like QuickPar can use those PAR3 files for verification.

Because PAR3 recovery data is not compatible for PAR2,

PAR2 client cannot recover lost files with PAR3 files.

Only when you cannot repair files by the lack of recovery blocks,

This method retrieves damaged blocks from corrupt files,

and high value will read less damaged blocks and fast.

When "Delete damaged files after Reapir" option isn't checked,

MultiPar has "Preview" feature.

You can see the list of recovery files which you will create by the current setting.

You may consider the efficiency of those files.
|

If you are satisfied with them, you may create recovery files directly by pushing "<b>Create</b>" button.

<h3>Error of PAR clients</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If an error is occured in a PAR client while create/verify/repair,
|
||||||
|
that is shown as "Error : something..." on GUI.
|
||||||
|
When PAR client is stopped by an error,
|
||||||
|
the output of PAR client is save in log file without option setting.
|
||||||
|
A user may refer the log to see what is the problem.
|
||||||
|
When a user want to report the problem by sending mail to a developer,
|
||||||
|
he should attach the log file with the mail.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
When "malloc" error happened, decrease the number of source blocks.
|
||||||
|
If source files exist on un-writable media like CD/DVD,
|
||||||
|
copy those files on HDD at first, then repair the copied files.
|
||||||
|
If the source files are very large, be careful about available space of HDD.
|
||||||
|
If you cannot open or repair files, other applications or system may prevent your file access.
|
||||||
|
You should close others and confirm your privilege.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Error: checksum mismatch</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
When "checksum mismatch" error happened, it was caused by a hardware problem (such like failure in CPU, RAM, HDD).
|
||||||
|
Because MultiPar consumes most machine power, PC may become un-stable by high stress or over-heat.
|
||||||
|
If MultiPar detects calculation error, it stops to avoid invalid creation or failed repair.
|
||||||
|
Your PC should be enough stable for heavy task.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
There are some solutions to try;<br>
|
||||||
|
(1) Change BIOS setting for safe running.<br> 
|
||||||
|
If you set over-clocking, return to the original value.
|
||||||
|
If you set faster memory access mode, change to slower speed.<br>
|
||||||
|
(2) Check memory error.<br> 
|
||||||
|
Recent Windows OS has memory test feature.
|
||||||
|
If it finds error, you must replace the bad module.
|
||||||
|
Even when you never see a problem at daily small memory usage,
|
||||||
|
MultiPar may use larger memory space and can reveal failure.<br>
|
||||||
|
(3) Change MultiPar setting to disable GPU acceleration.<br> 
|
||||||
|
There is "Hardware environment" section on "System settings" tab of MultiPar Options.
|
||||||
|
Un-check "Enable GPU acceleration".<br>
|
||||||
|
(4) Change MultiPar setting to disable extra feature of CPU.<br> 
|
||||||
|
There are some check-boxes in "Extra feature".
|
||||||
|
Un-check them one by one and test until no error.
|
||||||
|
The order of un-checking is from "AVX2", "JIT(SSE2)", "CLMUL", to "SSSE3".<br>
|
||||||
|
(5) Change MultiPar setting to use less number of threads.<br> 
|
||||||
|
Move "CPU usage" slider from right to left.<br>
|
||||||
|
(6) Change MultiPar setting to use less memory.<br> 
|
||||||
|
Select smaller number at "Memory usage upto around".
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Collision of Hash values</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If hash value of a damaged file happens to be same as hash value of its original file,
|
||||||
|
PAR clients cannot detect the damage.
|
||||||
|
This is very rare case, but serious problem if happen.
|
||||||
|
Because data in complete files are used to recover damaged files,
|
||||||
|
miss-detection of damage causes failure of recovery.
|
||||||
|
If you get this problem, you may check files with another hash like SHA-1.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Because PAR uses MD5 hash, accidental collision problem will not happen normally.
|
||||||
|
In addition to MD5, PAR 2.0 uses CRC-32 to check completeness,
|
||||||
|
then the chance of miss-detection is very low.
|
||||||
|
Caution, MD5 was broken already as cryptgraphic hash.
|
||||||
|
When a malicious cracker modified files by forging same hash values,
|
||||||
|
PAR clients cannot detect the intended modification.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Problem of PAR 1.0 specifications</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
PAR 1.0 uses MD5 hash to distinguish source files.
|
||||||
|
When there are files of same contents, their MD5 becomes same also.
|
||||||
|
In this case, those files are distinguished by filename only.
|
||||||
|
If one of them are lost and another is misnamed,
|
||||||
|
it is difficult to determine which file is lost or misnamed.
|
||||||
|
When a file is thought as lost, it requires parity volume to recover.
|
||||||
|
If you know those files have same contents,
|
||||||
|
it is much faster to copy from another file.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Fault of PAR 1.0 & 2.0 specifications</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
There is a fault in the method of creating generator matrix in PAR 1.0 and 2.0.
|
||||||
|
Rarely the matrix is not invertible, and repair will be failed.
|
||||||
|
If you cannot repair files with enough recovery blocks,
|
||||||
|
you would better try with different recovery blocks.
|
||||||
|
When there are extra blocks in the set of PAR2 files,
|
||||||
|
MultiPar tries to solve this problem automatically.

<hr>
|

|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
To use Python script, you need to install <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)">Python</a> in your PC.
|
||||||
|
The official <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">download site is here</a>.
|
||||||
|
There are some useful documents and articles on the Internet.
|
||||||
|
You may edit a sample script for your usage.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Python script is saved on some text files in <tt>tool</tt> folder under MultiPar's installed directory.
|
||||||
|
If you put a script file on another folder or under <tt>Program Files</tt> directory, you must set the path of <tt>par2j64.exe</tt> or <tt>MultiPar.exe</tt> on your PC.
|
||||||
|
By default, I write relative path from the <tt>tool</tt> folder.
|
||||||
|
You can refer the directory on MultiPar's Option window:
|
||||||
|
"System settings" tab, "Folder location" section, "Open MultiPar's install folder" button.

To distinguish PAR2 files, it uses stable filename with serial numbering.
|
||||||
|
They are like; <tt>#1.par2</tt>, <tt>#2.par2</tt>, <tt>#3.par2</tt>...
|
||||||
|
When there are sub directories in a folder, it will search inner files.
|
||||||
|
To send name of source files, it uses file-list.
|
||||||
|
The process may be very slow for many files.

<tr><td>Command<td>"path of script file" "path of file1 or folder1" "path of file2 or folder2" "path of file3 or folder3"...
|
||||||
|
<tr><td>Input<td>specify some files and/or folders (You may select them manually on GUI.)
|
||||||
|
<tr><td>Action<td>This sample creates multiple PAR2 sets for every selected files or folders.
|
||||||
|
It creates one PAR2 set for each selected file or folder independently.
|
||||||
|
PAR2 set for a file will be made in the same directory with the source file's name.
|
||||||
|
PAR2 set for a folder will be made in the folder with the source folder's name.
|
||||||
|
For example, when 3 files and 2 folders are selected, 5 items are shown on a list.
|
||||||
|
Then, it will create 5 PAR2 sets continuously.
|
||||||
|
It's possible to stop queue on GUI.
|
||||||
|
<tr><td>Script file<td><tt>queue_create.py</tt>
|

|
||||||
|
When there are old PAR2 files already, it doesn't erase them. (However it may over-write same name files.)
|
||||||
|
If you want to re-create all PAR2 files newly, you must delete them at first manually.
|
||||||
|
</table>

You must set command-line options of par2j for creation.
|
||||||
|
You should refer <tt>Command_par2j.txt</tt> in <tt>help</tt> folder.
|
||||||
|
Because all creating PAR2 sets will use the same options, test with a few files to see result at first.
|
||||||
|
When you want to confirm result by MultiPar, select a PAR2 set and push "Open with MultiPar" button.
|

If you want to repair a damaged set automatically, use <tt>repair</tt> command instead of <tt>verify</tt> of par2j.
|
||||||
|
When you want to confirm result by MultiPar, select a PAR2 set and push "Open with MultiPar" button.
|

Restore damaged or lost files with PAR recovery files.<br>

|

|
<hr>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Introduction</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
MultiPar was made as an alternative to <a href="http://www.quickpar.org.uk/" target="_blank" title="http://www.quickpar.org.uk/">QuickPar</a>.
|
||||||
|
The GUI is similar to QuickPar by getting agreement from Peter Clements.
|
||||||
|
While it looks like a multi-lingual version of QuickPar, there are some good features;
|
||||||
|
Unicode characters, directory-tree, faster repairing, smaller recovery files, batch scripting, and so on.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Feature</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
MultiPar supports both PAR 1.0 and PAR 2.0 specifications.
|
||||||
|
See the <a href="http://parchive.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank" title="http://parchive.sourceforge.net/">Parchive project</a> for details of Parchive.
|
||||||
|
MultiPar uses UTF-8 or UTF-16 to treat filenames with non-ASCII characters.
|
||||||
|
While MultiPar and <a href="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline">par2cmdline</a> can treat sub-directory and UTF-8 filename,
|
||||||
|
QuickPar and other PAR2 clients cannot treat them.
|
||||||
|
Almost all PAR2 clients don't support UTF-16 filename and comment.
|
||||||
|
Be careful to use those special features.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>System requirement</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
MultiPar requires a PC with Windows Vista or later (Windows 7, 8, 10).
|
||||||

<h3>Failure, Fault or Mistake</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Use this application at your own risk, because I might miss something.
|
||||||
|
If you find something odd behavior, report the incident to me.
|
||||||
|
Some examples like output-log, screen-shot, file name, file size, your PC spec,
|
||||||
|
and detailes (when / where / what / how) are helpful to solve problems.
|
||||||
|
Please contain them as possible as you can.
|
||||||
|
Then, I will fix it at next version.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Security risk</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
You should treat PAR files in a same security level as their source files.
|
||||||
|
When you have secret data on some files and encrypt them,
|
||||||
|
you must create PAR files from their encrypted files.
|
||||||
|
If you create PAR files from non-encrypted files, others may know how is the original secret data.
|
||||||
|
Even when there is no enough redundancy to recover it completely,
|
||||||
|
their PAR files may reveal useful information for a spy.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Parchive doesn't prevent an intended modification.
|
||||||
|
Recovering with unknown PAR files is same as copying unknown files on your PC.
|
||||||
|
The reliability of recovered files depends on their PAR files.
|
||||||
|
PAR clients may modify original valid files into something invalid files,
|
||||||
|
when PAR files were modified by a malicious cracker.
|
||||||
|
For example, if someone created PAR files from his modified source files,
|
||||||
|
the PAR files will damage your complete source files.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>PAR 3.0 is not finished yet</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
PAR 3.0 in MultiPar is implemented only for personal testing purpose.
|
||||||
|
Because I modify its algorithm and format sometimes while writing the proposal,
|
||||||
|
current samples won't be compatible with future PAR 3.0 specifications.
|
||||||
|
Don't send current PAR3 files to others, who may not have the same version.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Currently sample PAR3 isn't available, while the specification is being updated.

|
||||||
|
<h3>Install or uninstall with installer package</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Double click setup file ( <tt>MultiPar131_setup.exe</tt> or something like this name ),
|
||||||
|
and follow the installer dialog.
|
||||||
|
At version up, if you want to use previous setting, overwrite install is possible.
|
||||||
|
Before overwrite install, you should un-check "Integrate MultiPar into Shell".
|
||||||
|
You may need to re-start OS after overwrite install or uninstall rarely.
|
||||||
|
To install under "<tt>Program Files</tt>" or "<tt>Program Files (x86)</tt>" directory,
|
||||||
|
you must start the installer with administrative privileges by selecting
|
||||||
|
"Run as administrator" on right-click menu.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
You can uninstall through the Windows OS's Control Panel,
|
||||||
|
or double click <tt>unins000.exe</tt> in a folder which MultiPar was installed.
|
||||||
|
Because uninstaller does not delete setting files or newly put files,
|
||||||
|
you may delete them by yourself.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
When you have used installer package, you should not move install folder.
|
||||||
|
Or else, you will fail to uninstall later.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Installation for multiple users by installer package</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If multiple users may log-on a PC, the administrator can install MultiPar for everyone.
|
||||||
|
By installing with administrative privileges, installer made Start Menu icon,
|
||||||
|
Desktop icon, and File association will be available for all users.
|
||||||
|
When he installed under "<tt>Program Files</tt>" directory, each user keeps individual setting.
|
||||||
|
When he installed in another folder, all users share same setting.
|
||||||
|
In either case, user made icons and association are available for the user only.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<hr>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Install with archive version</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Unpack compressed file ( <tt>MultiPar131.zip</tt> or something like this name ) in a folder.
|
||||||
|
<tt>MultiPar.exe</tt> is the interface of MultiPar.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
You can create short-cut icon or send-to link at Option window later.
|
||||||
|
If you associate PAR file extensions "<tt>.par</tt>" or "<tt>.par2</tt>" with MultiPar,
|
||||||
|
de-associate them from other application like QuickPar at first.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Un-install with archive version</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
If you associate PAR file with MultiPar, de-associate them from this.
|
||||||
|
Delete all files in the install folder, in which you extract files.
|
||||||
|
If you installed MultiPar under "<tt>Program Files</tt>" directory,
|
||||||
|
setting data was saved in MultiPar folder under "<tt>Application Data</tt>" directory,
|
||||||
|
so you need to delete the folder.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
When you integrated MultiPar into shell at Option window,
|
||||||
|
you must clear the check before un-install.
|
||||||
|
If you have deleted <tt>MultiPar.exe</tt> already, you can un-install the DLL manually.
|
||||||
|
Open "Command Prompt" and change directory to MultiPar's folder,
|
||||||
|
then type "<tt>RegSvr32.exe /u MultiParShlExt64.dll</tt>" to remove shell extension.
|
||||||
|
You cannot delete "<tt>MultiParShlExt64.dll</tt>", while it is used by OS or Explorer.
|
||||||
|
You may log-off and log-on again to OS before deleting the file.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Change installed folder of archive version</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Move files in the install folder.
|
||||||
|
If you associated PAR file with MultiPar, de-associate once, and associate again.
|
||||||
|
If you want to use same setting at another PC, copy the setting file "<tt>MultiPar.ini</tt>".
|
||||||
|
If you move MultiPar into "Program Files" directory,
|
||||||
|
setting data is saved in MultiPar folder under "Application Data" directory,
|
||||||
|
so you need to move "<tt>MultiPar.ini</tt>" into the folder, too.

<font size=5>How to add recovery record to ZIP or 7-Zip archive</font>
|
||||||
|
<hr>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
ZIP archive (extension <tt>.zip</tt>) is used widely and 7-Zip archive (extension <tt>.7z</tt>) is useful.
|
||||||
|
Because they don't have a feature of recovery record, someone might feel RAR archive is better.
|
||||||
|
But, by using Parchive, normal ZIP or 7-Zip archive can be protected with recovery record also.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td>Step 1:</td>
|
||||||
|
<td>Create a ZIP or 7-Zip archive file.</td>
|
||||||
|

|
||||||

<td width="40%" nowrap>Create a single PAR2 file for the archive file.</td>
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td nowrap>Step 3:</td>
|
||||||
|
<td colspan=2>With binary editor or Copy command, append the PAR2 file to the archive file.
|
||||||
|
Then, the appended archive file contains recovery record.
|
||||||
|
The construction of the file is like below;
|
||||||
|
</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr>
|
||||||
|
<td colspan=3 align="center"><table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>

|
||||||
|
<tr><td colspan=3><br>Step 4 is required only for ZIP archive:</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td></td><td colspan=2>
|
||||||
|
There is "end of central directory record" (starting with a byte sequence of: 0x06054b50) at the end of ZIP file.
|
||||||
|
With binary editor, copy the section (22-bytes or more) and append it to the end of recovery data.
|
||||||
|
The construction of the file is like below;
|
||||||
|
</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr>
|
||||||
|
<td colspan=3 align="center"><table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td bgcolor="FFE0E0">Original ZIP archive file</td><td bgcolor="E0E0FF">Appended PAR2 recovery data</td>
|
||||||
|
<td bgcolor="FFE0FF">End of central directory record</td>
|
||||||
|
</tr></table>
|
||||||
|
</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<tr><td></td><td colspan=2><br>
|
||||||
|
When the ZIP file is ZIP64 format,
|
||||||
|
there are "zip64 end of central directory record" (starting with a byte sequence of: 0x06064b50),
|
||||||
|
"zip64 end of central directory locator", and "end of central directory record" at the end of ZIP file.
|
||||||
|
With binary editor, copy the 3 sections (total 98-bytes or more) and append them to the end of recovery data.
|
||||||
|
</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
<tr>
|
||||||
|
<td colspan=3 align="center"><table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
|
||||||
|
<tr><td bgcolor="FFE0E0">Original ZIP64 archive file</td><td bgcolor="E0E0FF">Appended PAR2 recovery data</td>
|
||||||
|
<td bgcolor="FFE0FF">The final 3 sections of ZIP64 format</td>
|
||||||
|
</tr></table>
|
||||||
|
</td></tr>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</table>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Because the file header is still the one of archive, it's treated as an archive file,
|
||||||
|
and normal archiver software can extract inner files.
|
||||||
|
Because the file contains PAR2 packets, PAR2 client can treat it as PAR2 file also.
|
||||||
|
As MultiPar can treat a PAR2 file which has different extension from "<tt>.par2</tt>",
|
||||||
|
Drag&Drop the protected archive onto MultiPar short-cut icon will verify the archive file.
|
||||||
|
On the MultiPar GUI, the archive with recovery record is shown as "Appended" status,
|
||||||
|
when the original part of archive is complete.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
Note, if you repair the archive,
|
||||||
|
recovery record (appended PAR2 recovery data) will be removed.
|
||||||
|
When you want to keep the PAR2 recovery data,
|
||||||
|
you need to copy the file at first, and rename it to "<tt>something.par2</tt>",
|
||||||
|
then open the "<tt>something.par2</tt>" by MultiPar (or QuickPar).
|
||||||
|
Though you can split a protected archive into original part and recovery record by a binary editor,
|
||||||
|
it's not easy task for normal users.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> 
|
||||||
|
I think this method is useful to protect only one archive file.
|
||||||
|
It is same as having two files (an archive file and its PAR2 file),
|
||||||
|
but is convenient for transport / public / distribution as one ZIP/7-Zip file.
|
||||||
|
Normally freeware/shareware publication site accepts only one archive file.
|
||||||
|
If an archiver software has a built-in feature to append PAR2 recovery data to a created archive,
|
||||||
|
it may be useful.

Redundancy

"Redundancy" is a rate of how much damage can be recovered.

For example, if you set 10% for source files of 500MB,
|
||||||
|
you will be able to recover damage or lost upto 50MB.
|

|
<b>Caution</b>, actual possibility of recovery depends on the distribution of damage.
|
||||||
|
In general, while dense damage in narrow area may be recovered with small redundancy,
|
||||||
|
sparse damage over wide area requires larger redundancy.
|
||||||

When you set 0%, only an index file to verify will be created.

When you start MultiPar by selecting a recovery file, this window opens and verification is started.
|
||||||
|
You see which files are damaged or lost, and you can repair them if there is enough recovery data.
|
||||||
|
If you want to verify again newly, push "<b>F5-key</b>".
|
||||||
|
When multiple instances of MultiPar are running,
|
||||||
|
it waits finish of another instance's task, and will start next.
