Fantastic idea! Distributed, redundant, encrypted cloud storage. I've seen some filesystems designed for this but I have not seen the encrypted part included.<br><br>That said, there is a backup tool, bacula, that supports encrypted file storage on the server with client only keeping the key (better not loose that!). Maybe a distributed redundant filesystem as the backed and an encrypted backup process with a client. Sort of like Tor but for personal file storage instead of web surfing.<br>
<br>Has anyone seen a tool/process already that does this with pure open source?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 10:11 AM, Jim Popovitch <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jimpop@gmail.com">jimpop@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
