Systems and methods of data segmentation and multi-point storage

摘要

Systems and methods of transmitting data from one location to another location that can be used in a number of applications including, but not limited to, secure transmission of data from one location to another and secure data backup. In one embodiment, a data file is split into pieces and the pieces are placed randomly in a diverse mesh of online cloud storage providers. So all the data is not sitting in a single point of failure and with the entire file available for theft. Each piece of data is given a randomized numerical code that determines where the packet of data is stored. Also, the pieces of data can be encrypted.

1. A method of secured data storage, comprising:
allowing a user to generate a manually generated list of designated data segment end storage locations; allowing the user to define configuration settings associated with the secured data storage, the configuration settings including a file filter, an interval schedule, and a cloud configuration, wherein the interval schedule defines how often the secured data storage is performed; a data segmenting device receiving the manually generated list of designated data segment end storage locations; the data segmenting device receiving data and segmenting the data into a plurality of data segments, wherein the plurality of data segments are equal in size, wherein the size is a user defined size selected by the user, and the user defined size is less than or equal to a maximum threshold; the data segmenting device encrypting the data; the data segmenting device assigning the plurality of data segments to two or more of the plurality of designated data segment end storage locations, wherein assigning the plurality of data segments to the two or more of the plurality of designated data segment end storage locations includes randomly selecting and assigning the two or more of the plurality of designated data segment end storage locations from the manually generated list of designated data segment end storage locations; the data segmenting device transmitting the plurality of data segments over a network to the two or more of the plurality of designated data segment end storage locations randomly selected and assigned by the data segmenting device; the two or more of the plurality of designated data segment end storage locations randomly selected and assigned by the data segmenting device receiving the plurality of data segments; storing the plurality of data segments at the two or more of the plurality of designated data segment end storage locations randomly selected and assigned by the data segmenting device; and the data segmenting device generating a report with information for retrieving all of the plurality of stored data segments from the two or more of the plurality of designated data segment end storage locations randomly selected and assigned by the data segmenting device and reassembling all of the plurality of stored data segments into the data.
