Client data backup screen saver (in collaboration with backup server) / Wahida Zakaria

On this project paper, I am focusing on the client side. This project paper involves client
and server side. Nowadays, tiiere are thousands of people reporting for laptops or
notebooks lost and damaged. There could be hundred ways of laptop damaged. One
factor that could cause damaged to the laptop is because peoples can bring it anywhere.
Therefore it is more vulnerable to accidental damaged and theft. We could put ourselves
in danger or risky situation if we have important data stored in the laptop. We should
backup the data to any backup media or server. In this project, we recommend clients to
use backup software which can be stored in the server rather than storing the data on the
same hard disk. Basically, this project is an enhancement of an open source screen saver
program and backup program. On my side, I have to create the interface for screen saver
setting and enhance it by adding "backup setting" function which will link the screen
saver and client program. We also have to modify the program between client and server
so that client can send file and server can receive the file and store it. When tlie link
between client and server is established and the screen saver cuts in, the selected file will
be sent to the server for backup.
