Push services when internet is down

What happens to the push services when the internet is down? I'm using the MySQL service to store my data every 5 minutes, but our building is terrible about losing internet service. Is there any way to recover the lost data?
Thanks!

Meteobridge push services are not buffered, weather network services are buffered for a defined number of retries.

About how much data is buffered if I set the number of retries to "retry forever". I have a DIR-505L and just wondered if I had an internet outage how much data could be buffered and uploaded once the connection was restored. Just a an educated guess is all I was asking... one hour, two hours, 24 hours, etc). I looked around but could not located much detail on this question.

Percentage of used buffer is shown on "system" tab. It can be a few hundred send outs.
In general I would not really recommend to use "forever". It is not making much sense.

Thanks for the reply. I changed the retries to 100. What exactly did this mean? Is this the retries for a specific report to the weather network? What happens after the 100 attempts expires and does this restart for rhe next successful update?

The failed transmissions will be tried again and again, but letting newer requests passing by first.
After 100 attempts Meteobridge does drop the record.
