Description: Create parity files and use them to recover lost data
 .
 Parchive parity files (or par files for short) create redundant data
 that can be used later in case parts of the original data is lost or 
 corrupted. Par files allow file level recovery of data. That is, out
 of a group of many files, if a limited number of files are lost or 
 corrupted, they can be recovered. These files will have the extensions
 of .par, .p01, .p02 etc.
