    Version 0.13 of disParity is now available for download:

    http://www.vilett.com/disParity/disParity0.13.zip

    Changes in 0.13:

    • Re-organized the readme file to be more helpful for first-time users.
    • By popular request, disParity now generates a separate log file each time it runs. The log files are named based on the current date and time.
    • It is now possible to add a new drive to the snapshot without regenerating the entire snapshot. Simply add a new entry to config.txt for the new drive and run the "update" command. However you CANNOT remove a drive in the same way. If you remove a drive from config.txt you must recreate the snapshot with the "create" command!
    • There is a new command "list [num]" which dumps a list to the log file of every file name in the snapshot. If the optional drive [num] argument is specified, only files from that drive are listed.
    • Tweaked file name handling a bit to reduce the occurrence of unnecessary extra '\' characters.

    Nice changes! I will try the new version today. A quick question: how does the update work when a new drive is added? does disparity read only the new drive and the parity drive?

    Yes, processing adds only requires reading the new files to be added, and reading/writing the parity data. No data from any other drive needs to be read.
