Never got around to it. So.. you interested in starting the two of us? The only problem on doing this on a larger scale or even trying to promot it, is that people may tend to be concerned about giving someone access to their machine. It is a valid concern too.. I recall there was a project that would allow distributed backups and all data would be encrypted. I think the developer got a proof of concept done, but don't know if he ever got it to a working stage. Don't recall the name of the system unfortunately.
