What is ICE ECC ?
ICE ECC is a file verification
and repair tool. ICE ECC allows you to protect your important files
and sensitive data against digital corruption using Reed-Solomon codes.
Did you know that a typical
CD-R/DVD-R disk can hold its data intact for only a few years? ICE ECC
is the perfect solution to this problem - before you store your data,
protect it against corruption with ICE ECC.
ICE ECC is easy to use.
To protect a file against corruption, just select the file/files/directories
with the program by navigating the explorer-style window and click Create.
This creates recovery file/files of the original files. You can easily
control the size and number of the recovery files.
When you want to verify whether the file has
been modified or if the data in it has been corrupted, just select the
appropriate .ecc file and click Verify. ICE ECC will then do a
full analysis of the file and let you know if it has been corrupted,
in that case ICE ECC will automatically recover it for you.
ICE ECC offers
these new techniques for the protection of your files:
1. ICE ECC supports
not only file/files. It works with directories too. You can easily protect
a whole CD-R or DVD-R disk or any files or folders from digital corruption.
2. Reed-Solomon codes
require a lot of CPU power for calculation purposes. ICE ECC provides
the fastest implementation of Reed-Solomon codes in the world.
3. ICE ECC is a
native Unicode application. That means that any filename is supported.
4. There is no limitation
on the number or size of protected files or directories.
5. ICE ECC uses
the distributed mechanism of storing recovery information. Recovery
is possible even if files with recovery information are heavily corrupted.
6. ICE ECC uses
special compression techniques for storing catalogs of files. It provides
the minimal size of recovery files even for large file collections.
7. ICE ECC may not
only recover damaged files. It can recover lost files, if the size of
these files are less than the size of all valid .ecc files.
8. ICE ECC uses an algorithm
that will allow it to find shifted data regardless of the distance by
which it has been shifted and will work with any block size. Both .ecc
files and data files are immune to shift.
9. ICE ECC support queues
for any operations.
10. ICE ECC support
multi core CPU or multiple CPU systems.
11. There is full command
line support in ICE ECC. Command line commands add automatically
to queue and execute asynchronous.
There
are some similar programs: PAR2, QuickPar, etc. But ICE ECC outperforms
them all and not only due to the fact that ICE ECC can work with
directories. See some test results:
