Approximately 300-400, with 20-100 Gb free disk  each one. I created a 
wpkg package for automatic deploying tahoe clients on each one, so the 
grid is almost already in place for testing  :)
Note that i don' want to make it availiable to the end users, it is just 
for archiving purpose.


Now the question is how to use it !  

I have 1Tb to backup from my domain samba server (linux Sarge), approx. 
100 Gb on mail and web servers,  and as I currently use the backuppc 
integrated in the admin interface of the server, it may be convenient to 
use it too. I looked at the different fuse implementations, but they 
depends on python-fuse, and the version on my sarge server is too old. 
So I wasn't able to really test it for the moment.  I will check it 
with  an  etch or ubuntu box.

But for preliminary testing i can  just use  the regular  CLI commands 
to copy  backup files, generated by another backup tool to the grid.
