Abstract
A system and method for asynchronous store and forward data replication is presented. The system and method utilizes one-way, unacknowledged communication messages between systems in a computer network to transfer locally modified data to other systems having a copy of the data. The asynchronous store and forward data replication system and method utilizes existing computer networks and/or network control software as a transport agent to deliver the communication messages. Utilization of one-way, unacknowledged communication messages allows data replication across foreign networks such as the Internet or other wide area networks.
