[QUOTE="Valentine, post: 1131545, member: 4870"] I'm sure he already has a cluster for redundancy, from there you can have one of the servers do incremental backups to a different server. For offline copies it depends on whether you have a person who can run a home server for you and physically swap out hard drives or if you have to rely on one of the major service providers and their cold storage options. The metadata trail with email is huge. It's like sending a text message or a postcard - the government and many service providers would immediately know who is a user. With a dApp there can be I2P/Tor integration for full anonymity. It's also far easier to prevent emails from reaching the user since the sender is centralised rather than decentralised. It could be through labeling all the emails as spam, having them silently fail or kicking the sender off the main SMTP provider platforms. There's only a handful of major email sending companies, once you're off those email delivery can become much harder. In this instance new tech is superior to old tech as it's basically impossible to censor access to a blockchain. [/QUOTE]
