Abstract
Systems and methods are described for homing data. A computerized method of homing data includes embedding a first homing configuration within a first file on a host, intercepting an access attempt to the first file by the host, retrieving the first homing configuration embedded within the first file, determining a first data homing connector based on the first homing configuration, and synchronizing the first file through the first data homing connector with a first synchronization server based on the first homing configuration.
Claims20
A computerized method of homing data, comprising:
- embedding a first homing configuration within a first file on a host;
- intercepting an access attempt to the first file by the host;
- retrieving the first homing configuration embedded within the first file;
- determining a first data homing connector based on the first homing configuration;
- and
- synchronizing the first file through the first data homing connector with a first synchronization server based on the first homing configuration.
A computer system for homing data, the system comprising:
- a host interface configured to interact with a host;
- a file access interceptor configured to intercept an access attempt to a first file by the host;
- a homing configuration manager configured to retrieve a first homing configuration embedded within the first file;
- a plurality of data homing connectors configured to synchronize files on the host with a plurality of synchronization servers;
- and
- a data homing switch configured to determine a first of the plurality of data homing connectors to be used to synchronize the first file with first of the plurality of synchronization servers.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions operable to, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- embed a first homing configuration within a first file on a host;
- intercept an access attempt to the first file by the host;
- retrieve the first homing configuration embedded within the first file;
- determine a first data homing connector based on the first homing configuration;
- and
- synchronize the first file through the first data homing connector with a first synchronization server based on the first homing configuration.
