Re: [9fans] multiple venti servers

["Tharaneedharan Vilwanathan" <vdharani@gmail.com>]

Hi,

If I am right, one problem with this approach is it becomes tricky
when both venti servers have updates but yet to be sync'ed. And, in
particular, when there are identical data backed up (say, I downloaded
a CD image in two machines and backed up in these two servers), it
leaves two copies. It may be safe but it does leave two copies.

Thanks
