Claim Text:
1. A method for reliable backup of media, comprising: capturing, by a device, a first item of media at a first resolution; determining, by the device, that a parameter of a first network connection between the device and a second device is below a predetermined threshold; transcoding, by the device, the first item of media to a second, lower resolution, responsive to the determination that the parameter of the first network connection is below the predetermined threshold; transmitting, by the device, the transcoded first item of media at the second, lower resolution, to the second device for storage via the first network connection; subsequently determining, by the device, that the parameter of a second network connection between the device and the second device is equal to or above the predetermined threshold; beginning transmitting, by the device, the first item of media at the first resolution via the second network connection responsive to the determination that the parameter of the second network connection is equal to or above the predetermined threshold; capturing, by the device, a second item of media at the first resolution, during transmission of the first item of media at the first resolution; determining that more than a predetermined amount of data of the first item of media remains to be transferred, responsive to capturing the second item of media; interrupting, by the device, transmission of the first item of media at the first resolution, responsive to the determination that more than the predetermined amount of data of the first item of media remains to be transferred; transcoding, by the device, the second item of media to the second, lower resolution; transmitting, by the device, the second item of media at the second, lower resolution, to the second device for storage; and resuming transmission of the first item of media at the first resolution to the second device, responsive to completion of transmission of the second item of media at the second, lower resolution, to the second device.
