Definitions

  • the present invention advantageously provides an easy and automatic backup of media content stored on a source device so that, in case of failure or loss of the source device, the media content may be recovered from the mirrored copy.
  • the mirrored copy may also be leveraged, in some embodiments, to provide access of the media content to other devices which would otherwise rely on the source device for access to the media content.
  • the source device is relieved of the burden of servicing remote access requests, and in particular, of the burden of transcoding media content to meet the various device format and specification requirements of the requesting devices.
  • mirroring refers to the direct or indirect copying of a data set, and may typically include subsequent updates to the mirrored copy in order to keep the mirror up-to-date with the original data set. Mirroring may be “live,” in which case the mirror copy is automatically updated in response to an update to the original data se. However, in some embodiments, mirroring may be performed according to a predetermined schedule.
  • the data set mirrored may correspond to an entire storage drive or disk on a user device, or a subset of the data set on the storage drive.
