.SH NAME
lziprecover \- recovers data from damaged lzip files
.SH SYNOPSIS
@@ -12,9 +12,13 @@ Lziprecover can repair perfectly most files with small errors (up to one
single\-byte error per member), without the need of any extra redundance
at all. Losing an entire archive just because of a corrupt byte near the
beginning is a thing of the past.
+.PP
Lziprecover can also produce a correct file by merging the good parts of
two or more damaged copies, extract data from damaged files, decompress
files and test integrity of files.
+.PP
+Lziprecover is not a replacement for regular backups, but a last line of
+defense for the case where the backups are also damaged.
