First Claim
1. A method for automatically backing up data in a heterogeneous network, comprising the steps of providing a private mobile network including a mobility server, mobile components and fixed components, the mobility server including data storage units that store data stored on behalf of network members, and;
- network agents resident on selected components;
initiating a data backup, by a said network agent, including the steps of detecting, a change in data on a fixed or mobile network component meeting backup criteria for such component;
selecting data for backup, based on backup criteria;
responsive to predetermined criteria, rendering said data into selected formats;
transmitting said data to the mobility server;
performing the backup operation by said network mobility server.

Abstract
A method for automatically backing up data in a heterogeneous network. The network includes a mobility server, mobile components and fixed components, as well as data storage units that store data on behalf of network members, and network agents resident on selected components. The process is initiated by a network agent, which detects a change in data on a fixed or mobile network component meeting backup criteria for such component. The agent then selects data for backup, based on backup criteria, and, responsive to predetermined criteria, renders the data into selected formats before transmitting it to the mobility server. The mobility server then performs the backup operation.
