processor / api to access instances?

Hi,

is there a way to programmatically access the instances of an xform? I'm
searching a way to backup instances while the users are editing them.

Hi Florian,

Is this to provide some kind of auto-save feature? I.e. instances are
saved while the users is editing the page, in case say they close the
browser by mistake. If this is the case, you can write some JavaScript
in the page that dispatches an event at a regular interval. When you
get this event in XForms, you can then run a submission which posts
the data to a service which saves it. For dispatchEvent(), see:
