Abstract

Techniques for transmitting and archiving data hosted on a server. A collection of data is generated, in response to a request, that includes at least a first portion of user content and a second portion of metadata. The collection of data is transmitted as a file.

Claims

1. A method for handling data, the method comprising:

generating a collection of data, in response to a request, that includes at least a first portion of user content and a second portion of metadata;

transmitting the collection of data as a file.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first portion is not encrypted and the second portion is encrypted.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the collection of data represents a website.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the website is hosted by a remote on-demand system.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the file is transmitted to a test/debug environment.

6. An article comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for handling data that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

generate a collection of data, in response to a request, that includes at least a first portion of user content and a second portion of metadata;

transmit the collection of data as a file.

7. The article of claim 6 wherein the first portion is not encrypted and the second portion is encrypted.

8. The article of claim 6 wherein the collection of data represents a website.

9. The article of claim 8 wherein the website is hosted by a remote on-demand system.

10. The article of claim 9 wherein the file is transmitted to a test/debug environment.

11. An apparatus for handling data, the method comprising:

means for generating a collection of data, in response to a request, that includes at least a first portion of user content and a second portion of metadata;

means for transmitting the collection of data as a file.

12. A system for handling data in a remote on-demand system, the system comprising:

a processor;

code stored in memory coupled to the processor; and

the code, when executed on a processor;

allows user access to web data stored in the remote on-demand system;

imports and storing the web data to a local storage location as an executable file;

uses the web data for further processing, handling, management and implementation of a website; and

exports the processed web data to a remote system.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein the first portion of the executable file is not encrypted and the second portion of the executable file is encrypted.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the website is hosted by a remote on-demand system.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein the executable file is transmitted to a test/debug environment.
