Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a distributed backup agent based on grid computing architecture. In grid environment, this agent can assist user to backup the data files in different nodes storages,update replicas synchronously, and access the replicas if necessary. There are two modules in this agent, saying, grid consistency service module (GCSM) and grid transaction module (GTM). GCSM can monitor the grid backup nodes status, e.g. storages space, on-line available, etc. GTM can maintain the consistency and integrity of backup files. This agent makes the distributed backups of the data files be more convenient and secure to access.
