Abstract
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for reliable backup of data, by initially providing transcoded, down-sampled, or low resolution versions of media data files for backup when a network has low bandwidth or intermittent connectivity, and subsequently providing the original or high resolution copy to replace the transcoded version, either on a second, faster or more reliable network, or over time on the first network. Accordingly, even with poor network conditions, data may be backed up quickly in a reduced size in case of damage to or loss of the device, providing a “better low resolution than no resolution” safety margin.
