Most of what is described in that paper is now libventi, vbackup, and vnfs. There was some notion that it would be interesting to try storing data in a peer-to-peer storage system, but when push came to shove we just set up a well-equipped Venti server for our own backups. It's got 15TB of raw storage providing about 7TB of venti arenas (mirrored). The only unreleased piece is a tiny protocol translator I wrote to convert between Venti protocol and DHash protocol. DHash was and still is a research prototype. You don't want to trust your data to it. Russ
