Abstract
Storing and retrieving files based on hashes for the files. One method for storing files includes: identifying a file; identifying a hash calculated based on the file; renaming the file based on the hash based on the file; and storing the file in a particular location based on the hash calculated based on the file. Another method for retrieving files includes: identifying a hash for a given file; using the hash, traversing a hierarchical file structure to find a location where the given file should be stored; determining that the file is at the location; and as a result, retrieving the file.
