   Unnamed project

   An idea-stage proposal by commenter eimrine for GPLv3 software that makes data storage across multiple HDD/SSD devices unbreakable and consistent: automatic serverless backups, always-available metadata for all files no matter how many storage devices are connected, per-file priority determining multiple copies, accessible software, and easy encryption of all devices with no ties to commercial entities. The author sketches first ideas such as requiring more than one disk for system needs, knowing all of the user's data devices, and priority-based replication.

   Problem: How to make multi-device data storage unbreakable (automatic, serverless backups) and consistent (always knowing all metadata of all files regardless of which disks are connected), so that nothing digital is ever lost.

   Audience: The author themself ("for me"), i.e., individuals managing their own multi-device data storage.
