Methods and apparatus that identify a change of resources in a device to a first backup source are described. In response to receiving a token from the first backup source for authorization to a second backup source, the change of resources can be backed up to the second backup source with the token. The change of resources can be committed to the first backup source if the back up of the change to the second backup source is successful.

Methods and apparatus for multi-phase multi-source backup

Methods and apparatus that receive, at a wireless device, power through wire or inductive pad are described. The received power is monitored to back up data from the device to a server in a network through an OTA (over the air) wireless interface. The data is transmitted to the server to back up the data on the device. While backing up the data, whether the power has been removed from the device is determined. The backing up of the data in the device can be terminated automatically and without user request, in response to the determination that the power has been removed.
