Heavy forwarder

we have indexer , search head and heavy forwarder in a vessel , the heavy forwarder will send the data to a head office , but due to the vessel is moving in international water or far from the head office , the head office indexers disconnected from the vessel , we know the heavy forwarder buffer the data until the indexers became available again , but the buffer is in memory(RAM) , and the buffered data will be very large -as the vessel disconnected long time -so the memory may be full and heavy forwarder will crash , now my question, do we can make the heavy forwarder buffer the data on the hard disk not on the memory ,or any other solution to this case ?
