UbiStore: a backup architecture, where mobile devices backup their data over short-range, ad- hoc wireless links to other devices encountered as a result of user mobility.

UbiStore Mobile to mobile backup - Main idea: typical user mobility patterns will incur some repetitive encounters in the course of daily life (public transports, home/office) which can facilitate the recovery of data in case of a device failure.

A node in UbiStore is a software agent executed on a user’s device, and assigned a data area to be backed up. Encounter: the event of two nodes establishing communication in the view to exchange data. Encounter: the event of two nodes establishing communication in the view to exchange data. At any time, each node in UbiStore operates in one of the following two modes: At any time, each node in UbiStore operates in one of the following two modes: - Backup mode: a node keeps sending data blocks to other nodes while at the same time receiving and storing data from other nodes. - Backup mode: a node keeps sending data blocks to other nodes while at the same time receiving and storing data from other nodes. - Recovery mode: used after a device failure or a lost device, where a node will seek to recover its data from any node encountered. - Recovery mode: used after a device failure or a lost device, where a node will seek to recover its data from any node encountered.

Fixed size: a constant amount of storage space is advertised for each encounter. Adaptive: the offered storage space is biased to favor frequently encountered nodes, with longer contact durations -> frequently encountered nodes are also likely to be frequently encountered when it is time to recover the data after a failure.
