Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive recursive descent data redundancy are described herein. In one embodiment, a method can include identifying the data object or file for Quantum Fragmentation, determining, via a first portion of a Quantum Fragmentation instance, a factor of fragmentation for the data object or file, transforming the data object or file into a plurality of first data fragments according to the factor of fragmentation by applying one or more cryptographic processing, integrity checking, and resilient fragmentation schemes, via the first portion of the Quantum Fragmentation instance, and persisting, via the first portion of the Quantum Fragmentation instance, each of the plurality of first data fragments to a data store of a plurality of available Cloud or other data stores or to a subsequent portion of the Quantum Fragmentation instance, wherein the persistence for each of the first data fragment occurs independently from the other first data fragments.
