MojoNation ... Corporate Backup Tool?

Posted by Hemos on from the hives-of-bees-making-honey dept.

zebziggle writes "I've been watching the Mojo Nation project off and on over the last couple of years. Very cool concept. While taking a look at the site recently. They've morphed into Hive Cache a P2P corporate backup solution. Actually, it sounds like a great way to use those spare gigs on the hd."

    (1) Read the site at http://www.mojonation.net/Products.html, it already removes redundant data.

    (2) Note that encrypted data can be compressed (and should be, to reduce entropy, and result in stronger encryption). Thus, those large .doc files get compressed down.

    (3) Your doomsday estimates of size needs are way off. Exactly how many megs of unique files does each user on a corporate lan need? Most of the files are identical DLLs and OS, which this application already handles.
