Evernode Decentralized Personal/Institutional Backup Service

Just an idea I didn't want to lose.

Fundamentals to Build a Decentralized Backup Service on Evernode

Decentralized Nodes: Use Evernode’s distributed nodes to store backup data across multiple locations for redundancy.

Data Sharding: Split data into smaller pieces (shards) and distribute them across nodes, ensuring no single node holds complete files.
Encryption: All backup data is encrypted before storage to ensure privacy and security.
Redundancy: Store multiple copies of each shard to prevent data loss in case of node failure.
Smart Contracts: Automate backup scheduling, payments, and access control using smart contracts on Evernode.
Tokenized Storage: Use EVR tokens to pay for storage resources on the network.
Data Recovery: When needed, reassemble and decrypt the data from the shards stored on different nodes.

How It Works

User uploads encrypted files.
Files are split into shards and distributed across Evernode’s decentralized hosting nodes.
Redundancy ensures data availability even if some nodes fail.
Smart contracts manage the backup frequency, pricing, and access permissions.

Why You Need It

Resiliency: Data is safe from centralized server failures or attacks.
Privacy: Only the user can access their encrypted data.
Cost-Efficiency: Pay only for the storage you use via tokenized resources.
Control: The user has full control over their backup frequency and recovery.

It's a secure, private, and resilient way to backup data in a decentralized manner!

A starting point here would be to have GPG encryption done on client side, that way the files are safely stored on evernode without risking getting compromised !

Very very cool idea. It would be bulletproof secure data storage, and impossible to hack.
