Just been looking at Tarsnap. It looks good but I'm curious what happens if the author/creator/owner/maintainer (singular) gets run over by a bus?


I do my best to avoid busses. (I've always been more of a fan of switched point-to-point connections than busses, to tell the truth.)

In all seriousness, if I get hit by a bus Tarsnap probably won't live on without me -- but it runs itself smoothly enough that there should be plenty of time for people to download their data.


Thanks for your reply. I'd been looking at the FAQ and it seemed like there wasn't much redundancy built in - not wishing ill of you at all.


You're quite right, and it's a reasonable thing to ask. I don't mind.
