Secure distributed backup for personal device and cloud data
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for secure distributed backup for personal device and cloud data. An example method disclosed herein includes, in response to a request for a file from a client device, obtaining a map corresponding to the file from a remote device, and requesting, by executing an instruction with a processor, a first file chunk from a first cloud storage location based on the map. The example method further includes requesting, by executing an instruction with the processor, a second file chunk from a second cloud storage location based on the map, and generating, by executing an instruction with the processor, the file by combining the first file chunk and the second file chunk. The example method also includes causing transmission of the file to the client device.

request a second file chunk from a second cloud storage location based on the map, the map including (A) the second cloud storage location for the second file chunk on a second cloud storage service, (B) second login information to access the second cloud storage service, and (C) a second chunking method corresponding to the second file chunk, the second chunking method different from the first chunking method;
generate the file by combining the first file chunk and the second file chunk; and
cause transmission of the file to the client device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is to:
determine first encryption information for the first file chunk and second encryption information for the second file chunk based on the map; and
decrypt the first file chunk based on the first encryption information and the second file chunk based on the second encryption information.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the hardware processor is to decrypt the first file chunk based on a first encryption method and to decrypt the second file chunk based on a second encryption method, the first encryption method different from the second encryption method.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is to generate the file by combining the first file chunk and the second file chunk based on the first chunking method and the second chunking method.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first file chunk and the second file chunk have randomly determined sizes.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is to decrypt the map.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is to request the first file chunk via a first API of the first cloud storage service, and to request the second file chunk via a second API of the second cloud storage service.
8. A hardware storage device or hardware storage disk comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a hardware processor to at least:
in response to a request for a file from a client device, obtain a map corresponding to the file from a remote device;
request a first file chunk from a first cloud storage location based on the map, the map including (A) the first cloud storage location for the first file chunk on a first cloud storage service, (B) first login information to access the first cloud storage service, and (C) a first chunking method corresponding to the first file chunk;
request a second file chunk from a second cloud storage location based on the map, the map including (A) the second cloud storage location for the second file chunk on a second cloud storage service, (B) second login information to access the second cloud storage service, and (C) a second chunking method corresponding to the second file chunk, the second chunking method different from the first chunking method;
generate the file by combining the first file chunk and the second file chunk; and
cause transmission of the file to the client device.
9. The hardware storage device or hardware storage disk of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the hardware processor to:
determine first encryption information for the first file chunk and second encryption information for the second file chunk based on the map; and
decrypt the first file chunk based on the first encryption information and the second file chunk based on the second encryption information.
10. The hardware storage device or hardware storage disk of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the hardware processor to decrypt the first file chunk based on a first encryption method and to decrypt the second file chunk based on a second encryption method, the first encryption method different from the second encryption method.
11. The hardware storage device or hardware storage disk of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the hardware processor to generate the file by combining the first file chunk and the second file chunk based on the first chunking method and the second chunking method.
12. The hardware storage device or hardware storage disk of claim 8 , wherein the first file chunk and the second file chunk have randomly determined sizes.
13. The hardware storage device or hardware storage disk of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the hardware processor to decrypt the map.
14. The hardware storage device or hardware storage disk of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the hardware processor to request the first file chunk via a first API of the first cloud storage service and to request the second file chunk via a second API of the second cloud storage service.
15. A method comprising:
in response to a request for a file from a client device, obtaining a map corresponding to the file from a remote device;
requesting, by executing an instruction with a processor, a first file chunk from a first cloud storage location based on the map, the map including (A) the first cloud storage location for the first file chunk on a first cloud storage service, (B) first login information to access the first cloud storage service, and (C) a first chunking method corresponding to the first file chunk;
requesting, by executing an instruction with the processor, a second file chunk from a second cloud storage location based on the map, the map including (A) the second cloud storage location for the second file chunk on a second cloud storage service, (B) second login information to access the second cloud storage service, and (C) a second chunking method corresponding to the second file chunk, the second chunking method different from the first chunking method;
generating, by executing an instruction with the processor, the file by combining the first file chunk and the second file chunk; and
causing transmission of the file to the client device.
16. The method of claim 15 , further including:
determining first encryption information for the first file chunk and second encryption information for the second file chunk based on the map; and
decrypting the first file chunk based on the first encryption information and the second file chunk based on the second encryption information.
