I backup my laptop to the grid. I tried to do it with "tahoe backup" but failed, 
it is way to slow for bit number of files and fails too often because 
unhappiness. Currently I'm using duplicity to backup, it's fast enough for me, I 
guess the main speed up from tahoe backup is due to the fact that duplicity tar 
the files instead of pushing them directly.

I have several hundred duplicity tgz files, around 4Gb. I run tahoe repair 
around once per month, I never lost completely any file but must of the files 
are not healthy after one month.

Cheers.
