An Approach for Video Compression Technique for Efficient Data Backup and Recovery in Public Cloud

With the rapid popularity of cloud computing paradigm, data recovery using cloud resources becomes an attractive approach. Research work is carried out to design and optimise data recovery through cloud with efficient video compression. In this work, we propose real time data backup and recovery system integrated with public cloud. An effort is made to improve the storage and data access cost by identifying the video files and compressing them using H.264 lossy compression technique at the background before backup and recovery process. The objective also is to reduce the backup and recovery time. Therefore we implement a dual backup system that backup the files in both cloud storage and in local storage.
