Subject: [9fans] Anyone using p9p or Plan 9 venti as a more generic backup system?

I'm giving consideration to maintaining a venti-based setup for my house for
all the digital media we have (since getting our Apple TV, we've had more
stuff to stream around the house).

I've just now started playing with things like vac/unvac, to backup and
extract trees of my HFS+ file system and I wonder about a few things.

What do people do if they ever lose their venti scores?  Seems like this is
"handle-less" data now, and fairly useless.

I figure I could keep a vac archive of venti scores, then I'd only need to
"remember" one, and name the files I store the scores in reasonably, but if
that's lost... what are my options?

Dave
