Abstract
Backup and restore of digital data may utilize online social network parameters of a user to determine a number of parts into which to divide digital data and distribute the parts. A list of friends from the social network friends may be selected, e.g., based on a relationship to the user in the social network, to store the parts. The parts may be stored in a friend's device memory, each of the parts stored with a different friend. The digital data may be reconstructed by obtaining a threshold number of parts from the friends.
