Abstract

A system for onsite backup of internet-based data is provided. The system includes a central computer, a client computer, a communications link between the central computer and the Internet, and a communications link between the client computer and the Internet. The system also includes at least one database containing a plurality of data records accessible by the central computer, each data record containing a client identification number. Software executing on the central computer receives a data backup request, and software executing on the central computer transmits the data backup to the client computer.

Claims

1. A system for retrieval and local access of internet-processed data, comprising:

a central computer;

a client computer at a client site;

a communications link between said central computer and the Internet;

a communications link between said client computer and the Internet;

at least one database containing a plurality of data records accessible by said central computer;

a plurality client identifiers, wherein each of the plurality of data records is associated with one of said client identifiers;

data processing software executing on said central computer for manipulating the plurality of data records;

software executing on said central computer for receiving, via the Internet from said client computer, a request for a copy of at least one of the data records;

software executing on said central computer for transmitting the copy of the at least one data record to the client site for storage of internet-processed data in a location accessible via said client computer; and

wherein the location is accessible via said client computer without using said communications link between said client computer and the Internet.

2. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a web interface for accessing the plurality of data records via the Internet from said client computer.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the request is received via said web interface.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the copy of the at least one data record is encrypted prior to being sent to the client site.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the copy of the at least one data record is reformatted to one of a plurality of formats prior to the copy of the at least one data record being sent from said central computer to the client site.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the client computer includes software for transmitting the copy of the at least one data record to said central computer to restore the at least one data record in said at least one database.

7. A system for retrieval and local access of internet-processed data, comprising:

a central computer connected to the Internet;

a client computer at a client site connected to the Internet;

at least one storage having a plurality of client data records, said at least one storage accessible by said central computer;

a plurality client identifiers, wherein each of the plurality of client data records is associated with one of said client identifiers;

data processing software executing on said central computer for manipulating the plurality of client data records;

a client data request, sent from said client computer via the Internet to said central computer;

client data corresponding to said client data request, wherein a copy of said client data is sent from said central computer via the Internet to the client site and saved in a location accessible via said client computer; and

wherein the location is accessible by said client computer without using the Internet.

8. The system according to claim 7, further comprising a web interface for accessing the plurality of client data records via the Internet from said client computer.

9. The system according to claim 8, wherein said client data request is sent via said web interface.

10. The system according to claim 7, wherein the copy of said client data is encrypted prior to being sent to the client site.

11. The system according to claim 7, wherein the copy of said client data is reformatted to one of a plurality of formats prior to the copy of said client data being sent from said central computer to the client site.

12. The system according to claim 7, wherein the client computer includes software executing for transmitting the copy of said client data to said central computer to restore said client data corresponding to said client data request in said at least one storage.
