A Survey of Cooperative Backup Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Storage capacity, like computing power, follows its Moore’s law and grows dramatically. Consequently, the need for data backup services increases. The domain of data backup was recently hit by the peer-to-peer wave: several projects propose to use a cooperative approach to the backup problem. In this paper we survey these projects, the various problems they face and the techniques they propose to tackle them.

Security Rationale for a Cooperative Backup Service for Mobile Devices
Mobile devices (e.g., laptops, PDAs, cell phones) are increasingly relied on but are used in contexts that put them at risk of physical damage, loss or theft. This paper discusses security considerations that arise in the design of a cooperative backup service for mobile devices. Participating devices leverage encounters with other devices to temporarily replicate critical data. Anyone is free ...
متن کاملData Backup for Mobile Nodes: A Cooperative Middleware and an Experimentation Platform
In this paper, we present a middleware for dependable mobile systems and an experimentation platform for its evaluation. Our middleware is based on three original building blocks: a Proximity Map, a Trust and Cooperation Oracle, and a Cooperative Data Backup service. A Distributed Black-box application is used as an illustrative application of our architecture, and is evaluated on top of our mo...
متن کاملCooperative aggregate production planning: a game theory approach
Production costs in general, and workforce and inventory costs in particular, constitute a large fraction of the operating costs of many manufacturing plants. We introduce cooperative aggregate production planning as a way to decrease these costs. That is, when production planning of two or more facilities (plants) is integrated, they can interchange workforce and products inventory; thus, thei...
متن کاملA SWOT Analysis of the Various Backup Scenarios Used in Electronic Medical Record Systems
OBJECTIVES Electronic medical records (EMRs) are increasingly being used by health care services. Currently, if an EMR shutdown occurs, even for a moment, patient safety and care can be seriously impacted. Our goal was to determine the methodology needed to develop an effective and reliable EMR backup system. METHODS Our "independent backup system by medical organizations" paradigm implies th...
