Method of data storage with local storage and retransmission to a remote storage, uses initial local storage on the data collection device then transmission of data to a remote storage

摘要

The storage system initially places data on a local storage associated with the data capture device (3) then transmits (6) the data to a remote storage system (13). Data from a range of different data sources can be stored at a common storage point. The data may be compressed for faster transmission and to reduce space used at the storage server.
