  • Patent number: 10783088
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer devices are included for data backup. An example method includes receiving an activation signal from a hardware input of a data storage device that is operating in a read-only mode. In response to receiving the activation signal, a backup application is provided from the data storage device to a computing device that is communicatively coupled to the data storage device. An authenticated session is established between the data storage device and the backup application that is executed on the computing device. Backup data from the computing device is received via the authenticated session. The authenticated session causes the data storage device to operate in at least a write mode with respect to the received backup data during the authenticated session. The received backup data is written to the data storage device. If the authenticated session is terminated, the data storage device returns to a read-only mode.
