1. Get the installer from allmydata.com. This installer installs Tahoe-LAFS, a Windows virtual drive backed by Tahoe-LAFS, and a backup client that runs on Windows. It is configured to use the [allmydata.com](AllmydataDotComPage) production grid. [Allmydata.com](AllmydataDotComPage) charges a monthly fee for the use of their grid (see [allmydata.com](AllmydataDotComPage) for details), or you can edit the configuration file to point it to a different grid.
