Readers on this list who are concerned about making crypto secure backups of their data should consider downloading the free MNET peer-to-peer client and donating a bit of their unused storage to the system. http://mnet.sourceforge.net/ Mnet is an open source distributed data haven that allows you to download and publish (not share) files This means your data is not stored as files on other people's machines, rather all of the data is broken up into "blobs" each with a unique address within the MNET's enormous address space. These blobs are cached on member' hard drives in a RAID array fashion, with automated redundancy across the member's machines. To reconstitute a file you need to have the "treasure map" which specifies the address of each published blob. If you don't publish the treasure map (i.e., keep it private) only you can reconstitute the file. Because each member's machine only stores a small number of blobs (if any) of a particular published file, and because these blobs are bit interleaved from the original file ordering, MNET system participants do not know what data they are holding. They have creditable plausible deniability.
