Abstract
A method for dividing a message into a plurality of message blocks and storing each of the plurality of message blocks on separate units within a distributed data storage system. Facilities for retrieving the information from the distributed data storage system and recreating the original message for replay are also provided. If a unit within the distributed data storage system fails, then a degredated version of the original message is recreated from the remaining units and their stored message blocks.
