</div>This is only a small amount of data that never changes?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, here's an example:</div><div><br></div><div>URI:DIR2:ptrj2xkmxrt72j4eqcakrmxyia:bjbrs4egpxb5y5bl7whh2e3wnnx3cutusyuphomme6aibur3c23a</div>
<div><br></div><div>If that was your rootcap, and you printed it on a piece of paper and put it in a safety deposit box (or some other safe location), then your backups would be recoverable as long as enough of the grid survives that your shares survive.</div>
