R&D: Jump-Based Backup, Efficient Data Backup

IEEE Xplore has published, in 2024 13th Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO) proceedings, an article written by Alla Levina, Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI”, Saint Petersburg, Russia, and Andrei Semenov, Saint Petersburg State University “SPbU”, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Abstract: “Backup is a key process which helps prevent data loss in case of data corruption due to hardware or software faults, malware attacks or user errors. However, the cost for resources used for backup must be taken into account and optimized. This study presents the incremental backup tool called JBBackup based on jump-based file chunking and deduplication with the previous backup version. Key feature of the proposed tool is the efficient volume of backup data stored.“
