CONTAINERS FOR TRANSPORTING DATA FROM A FIRST PHYSICAL LOCATION TO A SECOND PHYSICAL LOCATION
First Claim
1. A container that transfers data from one physical location to another, comprising:
- a mobile hermetically sealed storage housing;
a data storage device within the storage housing; and
a contactless data coupler that is within the storage housing, that is in electrical communication with the data storage device, that receives contactless data signals that originate outside of the storage housing, that saves data from the received contactless data signals to the data storage device, that extracts data from the data storage device, and that sends the extracted data via contactless data signals that reach outside of the storage housing.

Abstract
Containers provide for the retrieval of data from a data source at a first location and for transport to a second location where the data may be uploaded to a backup system. The containers may include multiple components such as a transfer housing that has a physical connection to a data source and a storage housing that may have a contactless data connection to the transfer housing. The storage housing may be hermetically sealed such that decontamination of the storage housing may be achieved. Accordingly, the storage housing may rescue data from a data source at a contaminated location, be moved to a decontamination zone where decontamination of the storage housing occurs, and then be moved to an uncontaminated location for upload via a transfer housing to the backup system.

9. A container that transfers data from one physical location to another, comprising:
-
a mobile hermetically sealed transfer housing; a physical data connector exposed to the exterior of the transfer housing; and a contactless data coupler that is within the transfer housing, that is in electrical communication with the physical data connector, that receives data signals from the physical data connector, and that sends the received data signals via contactless data signals that reach outside of the transfer housing. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer readable medium containing instructions thereon that perform acts comprising:
-
recognizing via a contactless data coupling located within a hermetically sealed storage housing that a data device exterior to the storage housing is available; sending commands outside of the storage housing via the contactless data coupling to initiate data retrieval from the data device; receiving within the storage housing data signals that originate outside of the storage housing via the contactless data coupling where the data signals are representative of data retrieved from the data device; and loading data from the data signals into a storage device located within the storage housing. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
