There's already several cluster filesystems, but most aren't structured for privacy from everyone else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_file_system
It would also be nice to be able to specify a distribution count, so really important files get more copies. On Jul 23, 2011 12:00 PM, kclug-request@kclug.org wrote:

More like you can back up a specified fraction of what you provide. A scheme like this requires extra redundancy to make up for potential
downtime
of some nodes at any given moment. It also could use pre-transmission encryption so that the people holding backups could honestly say they
don't
have the decryption keys.
[Linguistic nit-pick: When used as a phrasal verb, "back up" is two words, but when used as a noun or adjective, "backup" is one word. You "back up" data, producing a "backup copy", or simply a "backup".]

Or better a public distributed off-site backup, where you can backup as much as you provide. On Jul 21, 2011 6:00 PM, "Luis E. Rodriguez" lrodriguezmail@gmail.com wrote:
