Abstract

A method for remotely storing data is provided. The method comprises providing a first data file on a client computer; splitting, on the client computer, the first data file into at least two partial files; encrypting the at least two partial files with an encryption algorithm; distributing the at least two encrypted partial files in at least two remote storage locations; storing information about the at least two storage locations of the at least two encrypted partial files for a later retrieval of the at least two encrypted partial files; and storing decryption information for the decryption of the at least two encrypted partial files on the client computer. Further, a computer software product adapted for executing, when run on a computer, a method for remotely storing data is provided, and a client computer for executing the method for remotely storing data.
