Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of selecting optimum destination storage for remote and mobile data assets, comprising:
initiating a backup of a data asset to a backup system through a backup agent;
automatically determining a storage target for the backup agent to send backup data of the data asset;
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;
sending, from the backup agent, 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
transferring the incremental backups from the one or more temporary backup targets for consolidation and storage on the storage target.
