APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING THE BACKUP OF A PRIMARY DATABASE USING A BACKUP DATABASE

A Redundant Networked Database System is taught. Briefly stated, Control System Computers are designated for primary and backup database operation with applications being inputable to either primary or backup. Upon changes to the database, the primary and backup communication agents communicate with each other and to automatically update the backup. In this fashion, the primary and backup databases are automatically synchronized without manual intervention or the need for reinputting of the changes to the backup database.
