VIRTUAL DATA BACKUP

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for providing content data storage services to a remote device over the internet to enable access of the remote device in the cloud. A content data storage device receives data indicative of a subscription to content data storage services from a remote device. The content data storage device provisions cloud storage to provide the content data storage services subscribed to by the remote device. Data associated with the remote device is replicated to the provisioned cloud storage to provide a replicated device in the cloud. Data indicative of a request to use the replicated device in the cloud is received. The content data storage device executes the replicated device in the cloud, thereby providing access of the remote device in the cloud for the remote device.
