Thanks for this. Since it's going to be registered as an issue I thought I would provide some reasons for this. + I am trying to protect my data from hard disk failure - having 10 files all on the same HD doesn't achieve this. + I am trying to protect my data from site failure - even if I have 10 storage nodes in my flat (which is unlikely anyway) I still want my data to survive if my flat burns down. + I am thinking of using Tahoe with maybe 2 parts requiring only 1 part to make the file. I need to know that one of these parts went onto my server and another on a server in a relatives house. I hope this helps for the issue. (Where I work we have to provide a business Case for absolutly everything) _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
