This is a project to try and identify suitable tools that will allow us to implement distributed backup. Distributed backup is a step forward from “common” server-based network backup to a serverless distributed backup system that allocates backup data across the whole network or in this case, internet. As it's for personal information, a few criteria should be met.

* All data should be encrypted during transmission

* All data must be encrypted when stored

* An adequate level of redundancy should exist

* A fair method for trading storage and bandwidth must be used
