I am doing something like this with git-annex, across multiple sites for personal data (approx 800 gb). It helps by not having a single point of failure (central server),, and I can easely ensure that each file is in at least x distinct locations. git-annex does support encryption, so all that is required from a fellow data sharer is an open ssh port and git-annex on their machine. People just starting with git-annex might want to try the assistant, but it is still somewhat buggy. I would definitely recommend trying out the command line interface for any serious usage. In the last two or so years,, it really has simplified my file management life including redundancy worries. For more info please see: http://git-annex.branchable.com/ thanks, Mesar
