Proposed is a peer-to-peer "cloud" backup system in which the user picks SPECIFIC users with which to share his/her information. (I would trust my closest friends with my most secret files more than I should probably trust a large corporation, but it would be a pain to use a thumb drive for this sort of work.) The usual encryption schemes would be employed nonetheless.-- kevinthenerd, Dec 13 2011 Offsite_20backup_20partnering [spidermother, Dec 13 2011] Buddy backup http://www.buddybackup.com/ [chronological, Feb 21 2020] I'm sure we've done this here...
