It’s not designed for world-wide storage grids, I think, but it makes few assumptions on trust relationships. FWIW I studied cooperative backup in the past [0]. Software-wise, what’s left is libchop [1], which is just one piece of what would be needed to implement a cooperative backup system. Thanks, Ludo’.
