Abstract

A method, and associated computer program product and mobile computing device, for backing-up information stored in the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device detects one or more support computing devices located within a corresponding communication range and being available to support the mobile computing device for backing-up the information stored in the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device detects a dangerous condition indicative of a risk of inoperability of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device sends back-up information corresponding to selected information stored in the mobile computing device to at least one of the support computing devices in response to the detection of the dangerous condition to cause the at least one support computing device to upload the back-up information to a back-up computing system.
