    Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to implementing collaborative bidding in online auctions. Example methods may include generating a bid request, receiving a first response comprising a first bid amount and a first content identifier, receiving a second response comprising a second bid amount and a second content identifier, applying a set of rules to the first response and the second response, and determining, using the set of rules, that the first bid amount and the second bid amount are combinable. Some example methods may include generating a combined bid amount using the first bid amount and the second bid amount, determining that the combined bid amount is a winning bid amount, determining a first allocated cost associated with the first response using the first bid amount, determining a second allocated cost associated with the second response using the second bid amount, and causing presentation of first content and second content.

    Abstract: Techniques for producing incremental short-term backups while minimizing media access are described herein. A backup request is received that specifies data to backup and a schedule for that backup. The data is then partitioned based on the schedule and, for each of the partitions, it is determined whether to store a full or incremental backup of that partition. Each partition is fully backed up once during a cycle of backups and incrementally backed up at other times. With each full backup of a partition, a reverse delta that can be used to reconstruct the previous full backup for that partition is stored with the full backup.
