What has kept me running fossil+venti is the ease of backing up the file
server. Copying the venti arenas offsite is trivial. And Geoff put
together glue to write sealed arenas to blu-ray as well.
I don't see any simple way to do that with cwfs*. Or hjfs. I am very
curious to know how the not-fossil/venti FS servers are backing up.

The easiest method with cwfs or Ken's is to keep track of the size of
the WORM - since everything is appended, it's fairly simple to copy
the set of blocks after each dump. It's been a few years since I've
done this, but it is just as reliable as venti, albeit less
convenient.
