(57) ABSTRACT

The present invention discloses a method for saving data including system status data stored in a memory to a backup server via a data communication network if the remaining capacity of the battery is not sufficient, by confirming continuously the remaining capacity of the battery, in a suspend mode in a computer system. Accordingly, the present invention previously prevents important data from losing although the system-down is occurred abruptly by the perfect discharge of the battery.
