What is pyFileFixity?

An extensive and detailed Python suite of all kinds of ECC tools. PyFileFixity will not alter the original files, it will create an ECC file alongside the original. PyFileFixity has the ability to make ECC files from only the file header or the whole file.

Some listed advantages of the software include partial recovery capabilities, safe and conservative repair approach (makes sure recovery was done correctly before making changes), directory encoding, and a file watcher that will check to see if your file is corrupted.

Some of the listed limits of PyFileFixity include the inability to protect metadata (simple workaround: use a zip file or something similar), cannot repair the deletion or insertion of characters unless you used a high enough resiliency rate (at least 0.5), and cannot create files from other files unless you used a high enough resiliency rate (at least 0.5).

The page for PyFileFixity also includes detailed explanations of how to use the software and the best methods of archiving data.
