The only option I could find is reading through ventis status pages. Although I couldn't read from that with abaco or hget... + How can I archive my venti? Heiko on this list mentioned burning the arenas to a disk. Is there something like dump9660 for this? As dump9660 works on a file basis only I guess it cannot be used. + Am I supposed to run maintenance tasks of ventiaux(8) on a regular basis? If yes when and which? + I want to use a venti server as backup server for a some machines in my network, plan9 and others. What are my best options? I thought about using p9p's vac to copy the other machine's backups to venti, but I would like to make them available again through a nice directory structure a la dumpfs on the plan9 server. (Which in turn could be exported via nfs) Thanks for your thoughts!
