performing an attempt connection between the data source device and the data receiving device according to the connection manner; after the connection is successful, sending a data to be backed up to the data receiving device; or receiving a setting information for defining a connection manner between a data source device and a data receiving device; performing an attempt connection between the data source device and the data receiving device according to the connection manner; after the connection is successful, receiving a data to be backed up sent by the data source device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A data backup terminal, comprising: a processor and a transceiver connected to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to: detect a data backup trigger event; transmit a setting information for defining a connection manner between a data source device and a data receiving device to the data receiving device through the transceiver in respond to the data backup trigger event; perform an attempt connection between the data source device and the data receiving device according to the connection manner; and send a data to be backed up to the data receiving device through the transceiver after the connection is successful. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to detect whether an external message received by the data source device comprises a data backup instruction, or detect whether the data source device itself has an internal trigger event; when the external message has the data backup instruction or the data source device itself has the internal trigger event, the data backup trigger event is deemed to be detected. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The terminal according to claim 2, wherein the internal trigger event comprises damage to a display screen or a touch screen, lack of human-computer interaction during a predetermined time, damage to a communication function, or triggering of a particular hardware switching device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to at least partially encrypt the setting information according to a predefined encryption algorithm or key and transmit an encrypted data to the data receiving device through the transceiver. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein the setting information comprises the following information of at least one of the data source device and the data receiving device: one or a combination of WIFI hotspot name and channel number, Bluetooth device name, IP address and IP port number, URL address and URL port number, and verification account information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to load the setting information as content into a specific message and send the specific message to a predefined address through the transceiver, or encode the setting information into a two-dimensional code to be displayed on a display screen of the data source device. ### Claim 7 A data backup terminal, comprising: a processor and a transceiver connected to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to: receive a setting information for defining a connection manner between a data source device and a data receiving device by the transceiver; perform an attempt connection between the data source device and the data receiving device according to the connection manner; and receive a data to be backed up sent by the data source device by the transceiver after the connection is successful. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The terminal according to claim 7, wherein the processor is configured to perform a corresponding setting on the data receiving device according to the setting information, so that the data source device search for the data receiving device according to the setting information and try to establish a connection with the data receiving device; alternatively, the processor is configured to search the data source device according to the setting information and attempt to establish a connection. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The terminal according to claim 7, wherein the setting information comprises the following information of at least one of the data source device and the data receiving device: one or a combination of WIFI hotspot name and channel number, Bluetooth device name, IP address and IP port number, URL address and URL port number, or verification account information. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The terminal according to claim 7, wherein the processor is configured to decrypt a data received by the transceiver according to a predefined encryption algorithm or key, thereby to obtain the setting information. ### Claim 11 A data backup method comprising the following steps: detecting a data backup trigger event;
