^^ this is exactly what id like to do
to have a plan9 machine at work (which is the best way to learn plan9 
becouse my spare time is very limited and at work i am forced to play 
with it)
i have to make good use to it. We need a file server (ftp server) with 
some decent backup features.
I understand venti doesnt like unexpected reboots, but the machine will 
run 24/7 (if things dont turn nasty at our ISP)
I thought about plan9 since i can serve current files, and can serve 
dumps at the same time.
For this task then i will need fossil+venti right?
Do you have any strong advice against using plan9 for this particular task?
Can the hourly backup be done than? Im browsing through the man pages 
atm still reading..
Having a daily backup and having todays backup modified every hour is a 
solution, but i would prefer backups for every hour if possible.
Thank you in advance
