摘要
Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved method and system for storing a backup copy of a client company's data. In the preferred embodiment, the backup of data occurs within a computer system having a host company's computer system and an escrow company's computer system. Through the teachings of the present invention, native data stored on a host computer is backed-up onto an escrow computer, even though the escrow company's computer system includes a security mechanism, such as a firewall, to prevent unauthorized access from computers outside the escrow company's computer system.;In one embodiment, the host computer stores a native copy of the data in a file. The host computer then processes the file, for example, using a computer program named "uuencode" which is found on many Unix-based computers, so as to convert the file into a format which can be emailed. Once converted, the host computer emails the file to the escrow computer. By emailing the file, the host computer is able to get the information in the file past the escrow company's firewall. The escrow computer receives the email, extracts the file from the email, and stores the file as a backup copy of the client company's data.
