[volunteergrid2-l] status report?

[Brad Rupp]

Aaron summed up my feelings pretty well.  Tahoe has not worked for me at 
all.  I get everything backed up and then find that my files fail 
verification.  I too don't trust my backups with Tahoe.

I have seriously considered taking my servers down too.  The only thing 
that has stopped me is that I have two servers running and don't want to 
hurt the grid by removing two servers.  But at this point, I'm not using 
Tahoe.

For what it is worth, I use the Tahoe SFTP server to do my backups.
