Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to Web-Services- based data backup and data-archiving applications that provide remote data backup and data archiving to private individuals, small businesses, and other organizations that need reliable, secure, geographically remote, and cost-effective data backup, data archiving, and backed-up and archived-data retrieval. In one embodiment of the present invention, a private or small-business client contracts with a service provider for data-backup and data-archiving services. The service provider, in turn, contracts with a remote data-storage facility to provide secure, reliable data backup and data archiving to the personal or small-business client. A client-side application is downloaded to the client computer and configured to allow the client to store locally encrypted data at the remote, data-storage facilities. Neither the service provider nor the data-storage facility can decrypt or otherwise access the information stored by the client. In addition, the encryption key or encryption keys used by the client to encrypt the data for remote storage are securely stored at the remote, data-storage facility for subsequent recovery by the client, should the client suffer damage or loss to a local computer system. However, the client encryption key is stored in a doubly encrypted fashion, preventing access to the client's encryption key by either the service provider or the data-storage facility. Certain embodiments of the present invention also provide local indexing for remotely stored, encrypted data and efficient storage of updates to already remotely stored data.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例涉及基于Web服务的数据备份和数据归档应用，其向私人个人，小企业和其他需要可靠，安全，地理上远程和成本效益的组织提供远程数据备份和数据归档， 有效的数据备份，数据归档，备份和归档数据检索。 在本发明的一个实施例中，私人或小型企业客户与服务提供商签约用于数据备份和数据归档服务。 服务提供商又与远程数据存储设备签约，为个人或小企业客户端提供安全，可靠的数据备份和数据归档。 将客户端应用程序下载到客户端计算机，并配置为允许客户端将本地加密的数据存储在远程数据存储设施中。 服务提供商和数据存储设施都不能解密或以其他方式访问客户端存储的信息。 此外，如果客户端遭受本地计算机系统的损坏或丢失，客户端用于加密远程存储数据的加密密钥或加密密钥被安全地存储在远程数据存储设备中，以供客户随后恢复 。 然而，客户端加密密钥以双重加密的方式存储，从而阻止服务提供商或数据存储设施访问客户端的加密密钥。 本发明的某些实施例还提供用于远程存储的加密数据的本地索引，以及对已经远程存储的数据的更新的有效存储。

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to Web-Services-based data backup and data-archiving applications that provide remote data backup and data archiving to private individuals, small businesses, and other organizations that need reliable, secure, geographically remote, and cost-effective data backup, data archiving, and backed-up and archived-data retrieval. In one embodiment of the present invention, a private or small-business client contracts with a service provider for data-backup and data-archiving services. The service provider, in turn, contracts with a remote data-storage facility to provide secure, reliable data backup and data archiving to the personal or small-business client. A client-side application is downloaded to the client computer and configured to allow the client to store locally encrypted data at the remote, data-storage facilities. Neither the service provider nor the data-storage facility can decrypt or otherwise access the information stored by the client.
