I have raised a bug because the current system back in yast only offers
an incremental backup - so if you loose the first achieve your stuffed.
The reply came back and described it as a Hugh code re-write within Yast
and it was just a font end based on ---I forgot: I suggested that the
new front end should be written around CPIO . The bug is now Assigned
for a LATER status.. - Cross you fingers everyone

What is par2?The home page describing it is here:

Interestingly, the distro has a "par" from that same page, but not "par".
There isn't even a man page for "par". I guess from what you say that
they
are not the same. [...] I saw a link explaining the differences.
What would I need to compile - from sourceforge?
gpar2-0.3.tar.gz
libpar2-0.2.tar.gz
par2cmdline-0.4.tar.gz
Curiously, they have "par-v0.1alpha.tar.gz", when suse has "par-1.1-62"
[...] AH! It is hidden as "older releases", "par-v1.1.tar.gz".
[...]
The make run (par2cmdline-0.4) fails...

And a lot more.

With the values I use, I should be able to recreate upto 5 missing

Interesting :-)
What are you using, where did you get it from?Source code from sourceforge, patched it to handle GCC4, and then built
an RPM for it. I keep copies of it built for multiple versions of SUSE
here:
<URL:http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/linux/par2/index.htm>
Ah! So you had to modify them...
But... that is version "par2-0.4-5". At
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/parchive> I can only see release 0.3
(feb
2006). Where does the 0.4.5 comes from?
implemented [...]Now I wonder if the "dar" we have in the distro has that
it seems it does.Dar may have PAR support built in but, since PAR2 hasn't been included
in SUSE, I don't think it'll have PAR2 support. It may have but, since I
haven't used dar, I've no idea.
No, it is "par" - form man dar:
This has of course its limitations, in particular when a data
corruption occurs in the vital part of the backup, i.e. the few
first bytes of each slice, and the last part of the archive (the
catalogue). In case you need to store archive on a bad quality
medium, you could protect each slice with a Parchive recovery
file.
(see NOTES for more information about Parchive, and how to
transparently run Parchive from dar)
