DIff against 7.15
-
First goal: doveryay, no proveryay (trust, but verify). As a storage manager I need to be sure that my backups are perfect, so 'verify' is the objective of my zpaq fork.
-
Second: do not break compatibility with 7.15. Although hard, it is important that the archive format does not change. Reference decompressor
-
Third: most useful output: 7.15 is often cryptic but not very useful.
-
Fourth: pack everything needed for a storage manager (compare directories, hashing, duplicate find, fix of utf-8 filenames, wiping etc) in a single program with a single source cpp.
-
Fifth: 'smart' support for strange filenames and paths, Windows and non-Windows. It is not always trivial to restore files from Unix to Windows
-
Sixth: smooth with ZFS (I almost always use FreeBSD servers)
-
Seventh: run on multiple systems commonly used in storage (ESXi, non-Intel QNAP NAS).
