1. A method comprising:
selecting, based on configurations of one or more decentralized storage networks from a plurality of decentralized storage networks that are aligned with requirements associated with storing data, one or more decentralized storage networks for storing the data from the plurality of decentralized storage networks that are utilized for storing data, wherein the one or more decentralized storage networks of the plurality of decentralized storage networks comprise a collection of network connected computers operating as cooperative participants without employing dedicated servers for the storage of data;
initiating storage of the data on the selected one of more decentralized storage networks, and
sharing, with one or more other decentralized storage networks, information describing a storage system that accesses the data from the one or more decentralized storage networks, wherein the data is restored using the one or more other decentralized storage networks based on the shared information.
