Cool thanks! So does that mean if I want more durability/copies of the data I can just link up additional servers and they’ll sync all the data via IPFS? So like if I started with just my home NAS, then later added a VPS, and later a computer sitting at my brother’s house, I would end up with a copy of all data in all 3 locations and could access it if at least one of them was online at any given time?

There is a built-in mirror function in peergos you can use to mirror your user, or an entire server you control to another server yes: https://github.com/peergos/peergos?tab=readme-ov-file#mirror and we recently add this to the ui itself you can request/pay for a live mirror on another server: https://peergos.net

At the moment if your client accesses a server with a mirror, and your primary is offline, then you can read, but not write. Writes are proxied to your primary, and thus need your primary to be accessible.
