In this dissertation, we present a novel approach to the problem of distributed (peer-to-peer) backup.Our approach requires that data not be transferred more than two-hops from it source and that each peer store exactly the same amount of data as it distributes to be backed up.These two requirements address two import features of any distributed backup solution -trust and fairness.
