[ILUG] p2p Decentralised Backup

[Renato Miceli]

Hi Michael,

I recommend the Beehive File System:
http://www.lsd.ufcg.edu.br/beefs

It is a distributed file system that harnesses the free disk space on
machines (ideally in a LAN) to build a large, scalable, reliable and
transparent (POSIX-compliant) storage infrastructure. Plus it can be used
to back files up across different machines in the network (full and
differential backups, scheduled backup, variable no. of replicas, affinity,
etc).

Cheers,
Renato
