1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store information;
a power detector configured to monitor the recharge status of an internal battery during a backup process to back up the information stored in the memory, wherein monitoring includes detecting when recharging of the internal battery has stopped and when recharging of the internal battery has resumed;
a network radio configured to transmit the information to a remote device during the backup process; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a backup management module, the backup management module executed by a processor to automatically, and without user request, terminate the backup process when the recharging of the internal battery has stopped and automatically resume the backup process when the recharging of the internal battery has resumed.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus that receive, at a wireless device, power through wire or inductive pad are described. The received power is monitored to back up data from the device to a server in a network through an OTA (over the air) wireless interface. The data is transmitted to the server to back up the data on the device. While backing up the data, whether the power has been removed from the device is determined. The backing up of the data in the device can be terminated automatically and without user request, in response to the determination that the power has been removed.

14. A computer implemented method, comprising:
-
backing up information from a device to a remote location; monitoring the recharge status of an internal battery while the information is being backed up; detecting that the internal battery has stopped recharging; automatically terminating, and without user request, the backing up of the information in response to the detection that the internal battery has stopped recharging; detecting that the internal battery has resumed recharging after the backing up of the information has been terminated; and resuming the backing up of the information in response to the detection that the internal battery has resumed recharging. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instructions therein, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
backing up information from a device to a remote location; monitoring the recharge status of an internal battery while the information is being backed up; detecting that the internal battery has stopped recharging; automatically terminating, and without user request, the backing up of the information in response to the detection that the internal battery has stopped recharging; detecting that the internal battery has resumed recharging after the backing up of the information has been terminated; and resuming the backing up of the information in response to the detection that the internal battery has resumed recharging. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
