Hash: SHA1
There are a couple of things I do expect to see in Apple's version
that will make life easier for me.
I had to wrap my snapshot taking in a pile of scripts to track the
hash of the previous snapshots of the various trees I choose to back
up, or else performance went completely to hell. As is, a snapshot
is way expensive - I don't do them as often as I'd like. Ideally my
script would be clever enough to cache file modification times and
only re-snap the changes, but that way lies madness and a loss of the
fire-and-forget advantage Venti has. Not to mention how painful it
is to read my past snapshots through 9P without a decent browser...
I'm pretty sure apple's version won't need these kinds of voodoo from
the user - the UI is likely to be pretty and functional.

Ha! You are talking about Apple. What do you expect? ;)

Well, Xerox never had this... hmm. I guess Apple has had to borrow
from other places too. Guesses on how long it will be before Windows
has this?
Cheers
