Claim 9:
10. A system for selecting optimum destination storage for remote and mobile data assets, comprising:
a backup agent initiating a backup of a data asset to a backup system by automatically determining a storage target for the backup agent to send backup data of the data asset; and
a backup system component automatically creating and destroying temporary backup targets in order to accommodate current backup traffic levels and to provide optimal throughput of the backup data to the storage target, wherein the backup agent sends incremental backups of the data asset to one or more temporary backup targets based on movement of the data asset from one geolocation to another geolocation, and transfers the incremental backups from the one or more temporary backup targets for consolidation and storage on the storage target.
