Data Recovery in Cloud Environment Using Seed Block Algorithm

Abstract-- In cloud computing, data generated in electronic form are large in amount. To maintain this data efficiently, there is a necessity of data recovery services. The purpose of the recovery technique is to help user to collect information from any backup server when the server fails to provide the data to the user. There are lots of recovery mechanisms are used to recover the data in the cloud such as HSDRT, ERGOT, LINUX BOX, PCS, COLD and COLD/HOT backup strategy. But there are some limitations in those techniques such as implementation complexity, security issues and retrieval time is high. Hence, propose a smart data backup algorithm called seed block algorithm. The objective of proposed SBA is to recover the files in case of cloud get destroyed or file may be deleted from the cloud. The major advantage of SBA is to take minimum time for the recovery process
