Disclosed examples include receiving an indication that a file is designated as a favorite file from a user device; retrieving the file from a remote location; storing the file as a first favorite file on a favorites storage device; re-retrieving the file from the remote location; and updating the first favorite file with the re-retrieved file.

Methods and apparatus for automatic creation and access to favorite personal cloud data

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for secure distributed backup for personal device and cloud data. An example method disclosed herein includes, in response to a request for a file from a client device, obtaining a map corresponding to the file from a remote device, and requesting, by executing an instruction with a processor, a first file chunk from a first cloud storage location based on the map. The example method further includes requesting, by executing an instruction with the processor, a second file chunk from a second cloud storage location based on the map, and generating, by executing an instruction with the processor, the file by combining the first file chunk and the second file chunk. The example method also includes causing transmission of the file to the client device.

Secure distributed backup for personal device and cloud data

Distributed favorite files are stored in a favorite storage device. An agent dynamically monitors usage statistics for a plurality of files, wherein the plurality of files are located on a plurality of devices, designates a first file of the plurality of files as a favorite file based on usage statistics for the first file, and in response to designating the first file as a favorite file, stores a copy of the first file on a favorites storage device.

Mechanism for automatic creation and access to favorite personal cloud data

Securely distributing a backup file includes identifying a file to be stored, generating a plurality of file chunks from the file, transmitting from a first device, each of the plurality of file chunks to one of a plurality of storage locations, and generating, at the first device, a map that identifies the storage location for each chunk. Retrieving a distributed backup file includes receiving a request to retrieve a file, obtaining a map corresponding to the file, wherein the map identifies a storage location for each of a plurality of file chunks of the file, retrieving the plurality of file chunks from the identified locations, and generating the requested file by combining the plurality of file chunks.
