Abstract
Methods and systems for storing a file on a plurality of servers are provided including a number of servers and a maximum number of servers which may fail. A predefined number of byzantine failures and a number of crashes of the servers is contemplated. The file is divided into a plurality of chunks, where the number of chunks is equal to or greater than the number of servers. The chunks of the file are sent to the servers, where at least one chunk is sent to each server. The number of replies from the servers indicating successful storage of the respective chunks are determined. The number of replies matching a terminating condition is checked. A new file is generated.
