Abstract
Systems and methods whereby, for example, a node and/or other computer may act to backup data, via a proximity connection, to another node and/or other computer. Further, systems and methods whereby, for example, a node and/or other computer may act to receive from another node and/or other computer, via a proximity connection, previously backed up data.
Claims101
A method, comprising:
- detecting a node of a user to be in proximity connection range with a node of a backup group;
- and
- backing up data held by the node of the user to the node of the backup group, wherein a proximity connection between the node of the user and the node of the backup group is employed.
A method, comprising:
- receiving via proximity connection at a first node from a second node data held by the second node, wherein the first node and the second node belong to a backup group;
- and
- storing the received data in storage of the first node allocated for storing backup data of other nodes.
A method, comprising:
- dispatching a restoration request to one or more nodes of one or more backup groups;
- and
- receiving, via proximity connection, previously backed up data from one or more of the one or more nodes.
A system, comprising:
- a memory having program code stored therein;
- and
- a processor disposed in communication with the memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with the stored program code;
- wherein the program code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform:
- detecting a node of a user to be in proximity connection range with a node of a backup group;
- and
- backing up data held by the node of the user to the node of the backup group, wherein a proximity connection between the node of the user and the node of the backup group is employed.
A system, comprising:
- a memory having program code stored therein;
- and
- a processor disposed in communication with the memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with the stored program code;
- wherein the program code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform:
- receiving via proximity connection at a first node from a second node data held by the second node, wherein the first node and the second node belong to a backup group;
- and
- storing the received data in storage of the first node allocated for storing backup data of other nodes.
A system, comprising:
- a memory having program code stored therein;
- and
- a processor disposed in communication with the memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with the stored program code;
- wherein the program code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform:
- dispatching a restoration request to one or more nodes of one or more backup groups;
- and
- receiving, via proximity connection, previously backed up data from one or more of the one or more nodes.
An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium containing program code that when executed causes a wireless node to perform:
- detecting the wireless node to be in proximity connection range with a node of a backup group;
- and
- backing up data held by the wireless node to the node of the backup group, wherein a proximity connection between the wireless node and the node of the backup group is employed.
An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium containing program code that when executed causes a wireless node to perform:
- receiving via proximity connection at the wireless node from a second node data held by the second node, wherein the wireless node and the second node belong to a backup group;
- and
- storing the received data in storage of the wireless node allocated for storing backup data of other nodes.
An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium containing program code that when executed causes a wireless node to perform:
- dispatching a restoration request to one or more nodes of one or more backup groups;
- and
- receiving, via proximity connection, previously backed up data from one or more of the one or more nodes of one or more backup groups.
