pStore: A Secure Peer-to-Peer Backup System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an effort to combine research in peer-to-peer systems with techniques for incremental backup systems, we propose pStore: a secure distributed backup system based on an adaptive peer-to-peer network. pStore exploits unused personal hard drive space attached to the Internet to provide the distributed redundancy needed for reliable and effective data backup. Experiments on a 30 node network show that 95% of the files in a 13 MB dataset can be retrieved even when 7 of the nodes have failed. On top of this reliability, pStore includes support for file encryption, replication, versioning, and sharing. Its custom versioning system permits arbitrary version retrieval similar to CVS. pStore provides this functionality at less than 10% of the network bandwidth and requires 85% less storage capacity than simpler local tape backup schemes for a representative workload.

A secure peer-to-peer backup service keeping great autonomy while under the supervision of a provider
Making backup is so cumbersome and expensive that individuals hardly ever backup their data and companies usually duplicate their data into a secondary server. This paper proposes a novel Peer-to-Peer (P2P) backup system known as the SecureBackup service, which was defined in the DisPairse research project. It utilizes the unused personal hard disk spaces attached to the Internet to implement a...
متن کاملA P2P Backup System for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
This thesis presents the design and implementation of the All-or-Nothing package transform, presented by Ronald Rivest in 1997 [24], and its subsequently integration in an existing peer-to-peer backup system. This encryption mode provides a third alternate way of ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of backups. Resilia, the existing prototype where this extension is built on, co...
متن کاملOff-line incentive mechanism for long-term P2P backup storage
This paper presents a micro-payment-based incentive mechanism for long-term peer-to-peer storage systems. The main novelty of the proposed incentive mechanism is to allow users to be off-line for extended periods of time without updating or renewing their information by themselves. This feature is enabled through a digital cheque, issued by the user, which is later employed by the peers to get ...
متن کاملA peer to peer System for Data Management
Data Management Systems in enterprises constitute a significant portion of the total cost of management of data in enterprise systems. Maintaining data with a high degree of availability and reliability is typically done by having a centralized backup system that to maintain backup copies of data present on the workstations of enterprises. Maintaining a large dedicated backup server for data ma...
متن کاملPeer-to-peer Cooperative Backup System
This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel backup system built on top of a peer-to-peer architecture with minimal supporting infrastructure (e.g., no unique node ids and public keys, nor decentralized message routing, etc.) The system can be deployed for both largeand small-scale peer-to-peer overlay networks. It allows computers connected to the Internet to back up their data...
