A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system for application service provider based redundant archive services for medical archives and/or imaging systems. In a preferred embodiment, the system comprises a data source providing medical data, a status monitor for controlling the transfer of the medical data from the data source to a remote data store, and a remote data store receiving the medical data and storing the medical data. Additionally, the remote data store may restore the medical data to the data source. Also, the remote data store preferably may transfer the medical data to a second data source. Preferably, the remote data store is an application service provider.
