More Information
Summary:A system and method for performing backup operations is provided. Mechanisms facilitate a secure centralized backup system with a locally derived authentication model. A local centralized storage server may generate an authentication model, including credentials, and create a share/directory for each client. Clients store their credentials and use them to access centralized storage. Credentials are maintained and provisioned locally. A remote host server may establish trust by providing a list of clients in a circle.
