CORTX could be used as a data recovery tool?

Based on the information of Democratizing Access to Mass Capacity Object Storage video, it seems that CORTX could be used as a data recovery tool. Is this true?

Hey @yanqingfu . Absolutely. CORTX is designed to be a highly scalable system that masks drive failures by rebuilding lost data using distributed declustered parity. You can learn more about this here:
