Back-up of information stored in mobile computing devices

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device having program instructions embodied therein, said program instructions upon being executed by a mobile computing device implements a method for backing-up information stored in the mobile computing device, said method comprising:

• detecting, by the mobile computing device using a movement detector, a movement in the mobile computing device;
• comparing, by the mobile computing device, the movement with a specified movement threshold;
• in response to determining, from said comparing, that the movement is not higher than the specified movement threshold, detecting, by the mobile computing device, one or more support computing devices located within a corresponding communication range and being available to support the mobile computing device for backing-up the information stored in the mobile computing device;
• detecting, by the mobile computing device, a dangerous condition indicative of a risk of inoperability of the mobile computing device;
• and
• sending, by the mobile computing device, back-up information corresponding to selected information stored in the mobile computing device to at least one support computing device of the support computing devices in response to said detecting the dangerous condition, wherein said sending the back-up information to at least one of the support computing devices causes an upload of the back-up information from the at least one support computing device to a back-up computing system.
