Abstract: Embodiments enable automatic and immediate sharing of reduced resolution versions of content captured by a user computing device and subsequent replacement of the reduced resolution versions with full resolution versions based on network connectivity. The user computing device captures image data in full resolution. A reduced resolution version is automatically created and uploaded to a storage service. The storage service provides the reduced resolution version to computing devices associated with the user computing device. Subsequently, based on network connectivity characteristics of a network connection between the user computing device and the storage service, the user computing device transmits the full resolution version of the image data to the storage service. The storage service replaces the reduced resolution version stored by the computing devices with the full resolution version. In some embodiments, the reduced resolution version is transmitted over a cellular network and the full resolution version is transmitted over Wi-Fi.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methodologies for highly efficient backup and restoration in a network-based backup system. A distributed, hybrid peer-to-peer (P2P)/cloud backup architecture is leveraged, wherein information can be segmented and distributed across a set of peers and one or more global storage locations (e.g., cloud storage locations) within an associated network or internetwork. Using this architecture, images and/or delta blocks corresponding to respective images are intelligently placed across storage locations based on various network factors such as node locality, health, capacity, or the like. Similarly, restoration of a system can be performed by querying respective locations at which data corresponding to a desired system state are located and pulling the data from one or more optimal network locations as listed in an index and/or a similar structure based on similar network factors.

Abstract: A system and method that automatically and transparently handle client-side caching of network file data, independent of any remote file handling protocol. A protocol-independent client-side caching mechanism is inserted as a service that handles file-related requests directed to a network, and attempts to satisfy the requests via a client-side caching persistent store. By way of pre-process and post-process calls on a file create request, the caching mechanism creates file-related data structures, and overwrites the information in those structures that a buffering service uses to call back to a network redirector, whereby the client-side caching mechanism inserts itself into the communication flow between the network redirector and the buffering service. Once in the flow of communication, network-directed file read and write requests may be transparently handled by the client-side caching mechanism when appropriate, yet the redirector may be instructed to communicate with the server when needed to satisfy the request.

Abstract: An archive of items, which are computing data accessed by a user, is created at a semantic object level. The object archiving may group seemingly disparate items as a composite object, which may then be stored to enable retrieval by the user at a later point in time. The composite object may include metadata from the various items to enable identifying the composite object and providing retrieval capabilities. In some aspects, an archiving process may extract item data from an item that is accessed by a computing device. Next, the item may be selected by a schema for inclusion in a composite object when the item data meets criteria specified in the schema. The composite object(s) may then be stored in an object store as an archive.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates distributed backup and versioning techniques for network-based backup architectures. When data is committed to a backup system, a backup version can be created. The generated backup version can be a complete rendition of data or the generated backup version can be a differential between the data and backup information previously committed to the system. The generated backup version can be replicated across a distributed network of peers. Replication can be based upon a desire level of redundancy of versions, location of peers, network topology of peers, storage capacity of peers, health of peers, type of peer, and the like. In addition, versions can be retained based upon a configurable number of desired versions.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing a consistent user name-space on networked computing devices is provided. When a network connection between a local or host computing device and one or more remote computing devices is present, remote items are represented using the same methodology as items located on the host computing device. To the user, remote and local items are indistinguishable. When the network connection is lost or items located on a remote computer are otherwise unavailable, the unavailable items remain represented on the host computing device. Unavailable items are represented in a way that informs the user that the items may not be fully accessed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel client side caching (CSC) infrastructure that supports transition states at the directory level to facilitate a seamless operation across connectivity states between client and remote server. More specifically, persistent caching is performed to safeguard the user (e.g., client) and/or the client applications across connectivity interruptions and/or bandwidth changes. This is accomplished in part by caching to a client data store the desirable file(s) together with the appropriate file access parameters. Moreover, the client maintains access to cached files during periods of disconnect. Furthermore, portions of a path can be offline while other portions upstream can remain online. CSC operates on the logical path which cooperates with DFS which operates on the physical path to keep track of files cached, accessed and changes in the directories. In addition, truth on the client is facilitated whether or not a conflict of file copies exists.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种新颖的客户端缓存（CSC）基础设施，其支持目录级别的转换状态，以促进跨客户端和远程服务器之间的连接状态的无缝操作。 更具体地，执行持续高速缓存以跨连接中断和/或带宽改变来保护用户（例如，客户端）和/或客户端应用。 这部分是通过将客户端数据存储器连同适当的文件访问参数一起缓存所需的文件来实现的。 此外，客户端在断开连接期间保持对缓存文件的访问。 此外，路径的一部分可以离线，而上游的其他部分可以保持联机。 CSC在与物理路径上运行的DFS协作的逻辑路径上运行，以跟踪缓存，访问和更改目录中的文件。 此外，无论文件副本是否存在冲突，客户端上的真相都是有利的。
