1. A method executed by a computer system, comprising:
- determining, by the computer system, members that form a group within a social network in which the members communicate with each other over a network with electronic devices in a client-server architecture;
forming, by the computer system, a peer-to-peer (P2P) storage network from the group such that the members of the group in the social network also become peers in the P2P storage network; and
distributing P2P storage between the peers so the peers backup data for each other.

Abstract
A determination is made of users that form a group within a social network in which the users communicate with each other over a network with electronic devices in a client-server architecture. The users in the group within the social network form a peer-to-peer (P2P) storage group within a P2P storage network. In the P2P storage network, users are peers that act as a client and a server for each other.
