Thankyou very much for your help.

I don't know Chinese, but it looks like this shouldn't be translated [*].

This should probably have the name "GridBackup" as well as its translation.

A few technical nitpicks about that diagram:

 - change "HTTP(S) server" to "HTTP(S), SFTP and FTP servers"
 - change "(S)FTP client" to "SFTP or FTP client"
 - change the label on the rightmost arrow to something like
   "Tahoe-LAFS webapi over HTTP(S)" above the line and "SFTP or FTP"
   below the line.
 - change "TCP/SSL" to "TCP/TLS".

("(S)FTP" makes it sound as though SFTP is FTP over a secure channel,
when it's actually an unrelated protocol.)

Also, the "Windows virtual drive" is not part of the open-source Tahoe-LAFS
(it can't be because we don't have an open-source SMB server library), so
perhaps it shouldn't be on the diagram.


[*] The name "duplicity" is a pun on "duplication" specific to English,
    or actually Latin (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=duplicity).
