Abstract: The present document is directed to data backup and data archiving and data synching and data sharing over disparate networks for the purpose of allowing private and commercial computing device users to back up, archive, synchronize and share data, including data files, on remote data-storage facilities via a network-based application. In particular, the teachings of the present document facilitate the end to end process through the utilization of a resilient data node without compromising the system itself, or the data stored therein security or privacy.

Abstract: A Relational Schema Definition (RSD) language that uses metadata of the relational database to generate an implementation-neutral or implementation-specific format that represents the precise database structure and data. The RSD language is a declarative description language such that an RSD file can then be used offline in a disconnected environment to reconstruct and use the database.

Abstract: A data mapping architecture for mapping between two or more data sources without modifying the metadata or structure of the data sources themselves. Data mapping also supports updates. The architecture also supports at least the case where data sources that are being mapped, are given, their schemas predefined, and cannot be changed. The architecture includes a mapping component that receives respective metadata from at least two arbitrary data models, and maps expressions between the data models.
