[Tfug] Dispersed Storage / Distributed backups

[Chad Woolley]

If it's an old box sitting in someone's garage, I personally wouldn't
want to depend on it for backup - even if it's redundant on eleven
other boxes in other people's garages.

If it were hosted at a colo, that would be a different story, but
that's not the point of this.  Is it?
