Abstract
A system and method for replicating temporary data created by a server is provided. Temporary data for a local server is replicated periodically to a remote server. Temporary data for the remote server is also periodically replicated to the local server. If a server fails, another server begins processing user requests not responded to by the failed server. The user requests are processed with the benefit of the replicated temporary data. Repetitive user input and processing to create and process the temporary data is not required.
