Hi Fellow GNU/Linux lovers, This has been in my mind for a long time, and I think this group would be the best place to put it across. Lately I have been thinking of a distributed peer to peer backup solution. This thought has come out basically from my personal requirement of backing up my data ( personal pictures, videos and other documents ) which I maintain in my computer. I believe this might be the case of the rest of us. Losing all this information from my misbehaving computer will be a huge tragedy for me.
Currently the options are expensive ( at least for me) to backup on the servers and have some sort of limitations with regard to operating system or space limitation. That is when I thought a distributed backup solution might be the way to go. At least some of us have a full time Internet connection and ample space on our computers ( with those 500 GB and 750 GB options nowadays), which might be used in an efficient way by the system to build a reliable system. Is this something which is interesting to us, and which is solving a prevalent problem which we are facing. If so lets talk about it and see what we can do about it. Comments are invited and suggestions on how to go forward. There is already a solution catering to this, check it out http://backupp2p.pbworks.com/w/page/11416763/FrontPage Thanks everyone for listening. Best regards, George -- "Freedom is the only law".
