Archive File - Error Detection and Recovery

Error Detection and Recovery

Archive files often include parity checks and other checksums for error detection, for instance zip files use a cyclic redundancy check (CRC).

Archive files are sometimes accompanied by separate parity archive (PAR) files that allow for additional error detection and recovery, particularly in recovery of missing files in a multi-file archive.

Famous quotes containing the words error and/or recovery:

    There is a lot of difference between tempting and leading into error. God tempts but does not lead into error. To tempt is to provide opportunities for us to do certain things if we do not love God, but putting us under no necessity to do so. To lead into error is to compel a man necessarily to conclude and follow a falsehood.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Walking, and leaping, and praising God.
    Bible: New Testament Acts, 3:8.

    Referring to the miraculous recovery of a lame man, through the intervention of Peter.
