I'm reading about bit rot here and realizing that I've been dealing with it for decades.

Is there any utility which can scan disks (or files, or folder structures) for errors? I assume file and block checksums.

Is there any utility which can repair these given multiple copies of the same files - or large folder structures? As I have my main archives copied (as folder structures) on 2-3 different disks.

Same thing for old Cd/DVDs I've burned, it would be nice to mark those that have errors.
