In this paper, we present UBackup, which describes an easy way to build a private cloud storage system with high-efficient and high-disaster-tolerance. UBackup client enables file-level de-duplication by using a file fingerprint check. The utilization of compressed erasure code algorithm ensures data security and cuts down the cost. A space utilization rate variance minimizing algorithm is used on index server to balance system load. We present the system architecture of UBackup and its components, and we have implemented a proof-of-concept prototype of UBackup. By conducting performance evaluation in a public Internet, experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the system.
