We propose a redundancy management mechanism for peer-to-peer backup applications. Since, in a backup system, data is read over the network only during restore processes caused by data loss, redundancy management targets data durability rather than attempting to make each piece of information availabile at any time. Each peer determines, in an...

We design and analyze the performance of a redundancy management mechanism for peer-to-peer backup applications.
