A system, comprising:
- a plurality of customer computers to be backed-up, each customer computer running a client software to transfer back-up data files with a distributed meta data store by splitting meta data from file data, storing the meta data for each file in a separate file, mapping the—
- file data and meta data to an arbitrary file system, and reconstructing files for the arbitrary file system;
- a system management platform coupled to the client software over the Internet, the system management platform receiving inputs from a web user portal to control operations of the client software and the system management platform to back up the customer computer;
- and
- two or more data storage silos, each including:
- a plurality of storage directors communicating with the client software;
