Data archive from isolated locations

Abstract

A process of transferring data files between a source machine system and a destination machine system includes assigning a transfer time deadline to the data files. As the time deadline approaches or is reached, checking a vehicle route schedule to determine if the data files can be transferred to a vehicle that will be within wireless communication range of the source machine system before the transfer time deadline and which will traverse a route that will bring the vehicle within wireless communication range of the destination machine or an intermediate store and forward relay station. If the data files can be transferred to the vehicle that will be within wireless communication range of the source machine system before the transfer time deadline and which will traverse a route that will bring the vehicle within wireless communication range of the destination machine or an intermediate store and forward relay station, transferring the files to the vehicle. Otherwise, allocating a high priority channel on a satellite uplink for transfer of the files.
