Description
Abstract: Peer-to-peer backup systems provide mechanisms that allow participants to store
their data cooperatively. When the proportion of unstable peers grows, these systems need
to increase redundancy to maintain data availability. This redundancy could be reduced by
storing data to more stable peers. In consequence, network traffic would be reduced and the
global network’s storage capacity would be increased.
