Abstract: Systems and methods which provide a hybrid network based solution for digital data file backup are shown. Embodiments utilize a transport mass storage system to provide transmission of digital data files between user equipment and a network based mass storage system. The transport mass storage system for physically transporting digital data files may be used in combination with other techniques for communicating digital data files, such as transmission of digital data files through a network link. A manifest and/or other information may be used to manage transporting, storage, and/or synchronization of digital data files. User equipment may then access the digital data files stored to the network mass storage system for various purposes using a network link. Subsequent, incremental backups and other transfers of relatively small amounts of digital data files are preferably accomplished using a network link for the transfer.

Abstract: A dealer management system (DMS) and a fluid dispensing system are linked by a computer. An interface, which may be integral with a dispenser control, is executed by the computer for providing to the DMS dynamic information for a particular repair order. The information is provided to the DMS in response to fluids dispensed by the fluid dispenser and in response to repair information input via an input device.
