A system described herein may provide a technique for the remote backup of a User Equipment ('UE'). An initiating device may be registered as being associated with the UE, and may initiate remote backups of the UE, without requiring user interaction at the UE. Different network backup policies may be specified in the request, such as a 'Wi-Fi only' network backup request. If the UE is in a &#x201c;lost&#x201d; mode, a &#x201c;damaged&#x201d; mode, and/or is otherwise unusable or inaccessible, the specified network backup policy may be overridden, to ensure that the UE is backed up and the relevant device data may be recovered.

Systems and methods for remote-initiated device backup

A wireless application server may receive, from a wireless device, information identifying an application residing on a network device in a home network. The wireless application server may further cause a connection to be established to the application and transfer traffic between the application and the wireless device.

Remote access to a customer home network

A system and methods for providing an interactive program guide (IPG) to a mobile device are disclosed. The system generally includes a network component which receives IPG data including program data, and a mobile device application component which receives program data from the network component and displays the program data on the mobile device. The methods may include providing a mobile IPG application to a mobile device, receiving IPG data including program data with a network component, transmitting the program data from the network component to the mobile device, and formatting the program data for the mobile device.
