I must first decide on a (quasi)stable dir= tree. The problem is that I have almost 2TB of data,
so should I have a= nother 2TB disk for Venti if I want to put there all?

Well. Venti does block-level deduplication. If you have 100 MB of dat= a
in dir A and move it to dir B, you're not going to duplicate that stora= ge
(you'll get new blocks for the directory, of course, but that's bot= h
minimal and unavoidable).
