Abstract

The present disclosure provides a data backup method, comprising: A. receiving a data type of data which is selected by a user to be backed up; B. calculating a first capacity of data having the same data type, detecting a residual user second capacity on a server side, and comparing the first capacity with the second capacity, wherein if the first capacity is greater than the second capacity, the backup process is interrupted, and if the first capacity is not greater than the second capacity, step C is performed; and C. encrypting and uploading the data to be backed up to a database on the server side for backup, and displaying a backup result after the backup is completed. With the present disclosure, important data can be directly backed up by the mobile terminal to the server side, thereby not only occupying less local storage space of the mobile terminal, but also better protecting the important data from being lost, which greatly meets users'"'"' requirements for security.

Claims

1. A data backup method, comprising:

A. receiving a data type of data which is selected by a user to be backed up;

B. calculating a first capacity of data having the same data type, detecting a second residual user capacity on a server side, and comparing the first capacity with the second capacity, wherein if the first capacity is greater than the second capacity, the backup process is interrupted, and if the first capacity is not greater than the second capacity, step C is performed; and

C. encrypting and uploading the data to be backed up to a database on the server side for backup, and displaying a backup result after the backup is completed.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the data type comprises any one of image, video, short message, call record, and personal contact, or any combination thereof, and wherein a personal contact comprises a contact name, a telephone number, and a personal incoming call processing manner.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the server side receives an instruction of requesting for data backup from the mobile terminal, and receives data uploaded by the mobile terminal.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

after the backup process is interrupted, if the user chooses to continue the backup, continuing the backup from a point where the data has been backed up.

5. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

processing, by the server side, the uploaded data to be backed up by;

combining, de-duplicating, encrypting, and storing data having the image type and/or the video type; and

unpacking, combining, de-duplicating, packing, encrypting, and storing data having the short message type, the call record type, and/or the personal contact type.

6. A data backup system comprising a display module, the system further comprising:

a mobile terminal comprising an acquisition module, a calculation and processing module, and an encryption and upload module; and

a server side comprising a database, wherein

the acquisition module is configured to receive a data type of data which is selected by a user to be backed up;

the calculation and processing module is configured to calculate a first capacity of data having the same data type, configured to detect a second residual user capacity on the server side, and configured to compare the first capacity with the second capacity, wherein if the first capacity is greater than the second capacity, the backup process is interrupted, and if the first capacity is not greater than the second capacity, a backup operation is performed by the encryption and upload module; and

the encryption and upload module is configured to encrypt and upload the data to be backed up to the database on the server side for backup;

the display module is configured to display a backup result after the backup is completed; and

the database is configured to store the data to be backed up.

7. The system according to claim 6, wherein the data type comprises any one of image, video, short message, call record, and personal contact, or any combination thereof, and wherein a personal contact comprises a contact name, a telephone number, and a personal incoming call processing manner.

8. The system according to claim 6, wherein the server side comprises a communication module configured to receive an instruction of requesting for data backup from the mobile terminal, and configured to receive data uploaded by the mobile terminal.

9. The system according to claim 6, wherein the system is further configured to continue the backup from a point where the data has been backed up if the user chooses to continue the backup after the backup process is interrupted.

10. The system according to claim 7, wherein the server side further comprises a processing module configured to process the uploaded data to be backed up by:

combining, de-duplicating, encrypting, and storing data having the image type and/or the video type; and

unpacking, combining, de-duplicating, packing, encrypting, and storing data having the short message type, the call record type, and/or the personal contact type.
