[volunteergrid2-l] Introduction

[Brad Rupp]

Greetings VolunteerGrid2 members,

I am excited to be a member of this group.  Thanks for letting me join. 
  I am a software engineer based in the Salt Lake City, UT. area.  I 
have been interested in backup and storage for many years.  Hopefully 
this background will prove beneficial to this project.

I'm hopeful that I can use the VolunteerGrid2 to backup some of the 
critical data I have.  My goal is to back up this data in a way that 
would survive a localized disaster in my area.  It believe Tahoe-LAFS 
meets this requirement.

I have a SuSE based Linux server that is up 24x7.  I'm planning on 
adding a 1-2 TB disk to this server specifically for this project.  I 
also need to get the Tahoe-LAFS software on this server.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself.  I look forward to working 
with all of you.

Regards,

Brad
