The present invention relates to a process for backing-up data stored on storage means (MEMA1, MEMA2, MEMA3) of a data processing device (TERA). The invention further relates to a data processing device (TERA), a service provision server (SM), a back-up server (BA1) and a respective program module for a data processing device, for a service provision server and for a back-up server for the backing-up of data. Following the determination of the data in the storage means (MEMA1, MEMA2, MEAM3) which are to be backed-up, a first connection (VA, VBA1) between the data processing device (TERA) and a first back-up server (BA1) spatially remote from the data processing device (TERA) and at least one second connection (VA, VBA2) between the data processing device (TERA) and at least one second back-up server (BA2) spatially remote from the data processing device (TERA) are established via a telecommunications network (NET). From the data to be backed-up, a first and at least one second data stream (DSBA1, DSBA2) are formed and transmitted from the data processing device (TERA) to the first and the at least one second back-up server (BA1, BA2).
A process for backing-up data stored on storage means (MEMA1, MEMA2, MEMA3) of a data processing device (TERA) comprising the step:
