In one embodiment, a method may include: receiving a request to store back-up data on a distributed processing system from a client system, the back-up data having a storage priority, searching a database to identify one or more distributed devices with excess storage capacity, and selecting one or more of the distributed devices to store the back-up data based in part on the back-up data's storage priority. Then, sending the back-up data to one or more selected distributed devices along with retention instructions indicating conditions for retaining and/or deleting the back-up data, and updating an index with addresses for the one or more selected distributed devices that received the back-up data.
