#2 Improved configuration granularity

[Christophe Kalt]

Not sure how easy these would be, but i think it'd be
useful if you could define peer groups, and then have
control over how data is backed up.

The "store" command should then allow configuring:

(1) which peer group(s) to use
(2) which level of redundancy
(3) which file size

This would allow differentiating between different classes
of data (e.g. critical versus not so important, ..)

That's an interesting idea; it should be doable.

Another way to get the same functionality would be to allow
the user to write a function which takes the file name given
to the "store" command as well as an optional "category"
argument, and compute these parameters. I'm not sure if the
added flexibility of this approach would be worth the
complexity, though.

Thanks for the feedback,

Being able to easily review/edit the settings would be
worthwhile. How you achieve this isn't all that important i
guess. i like the idea of having categories. i might have more
input on this once i actually play with DIBS as opposed to just
reading the manual ;-)
