Cristy,

Puppet doesn't have a built-in way to grab data from the client-side and save 
it on the Master.  There IS the Filebucket 
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#filebucket 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/man/filebucket.html) but that's not something I 
would feel comfortable doing (it's better for backing up a file before Puppet 
replaces the file).

Having said that, you could have exec resources for each task (creating a 
database dump, sending the task to a remote server) that would model this, but 
you would have to specify what each task means (i.e. HOW it gets the data dump 
and HOW it sends it back to the Master).

Does that make sense?
