Data storage system power shedding for vaulting and/or backup is provided herein. A data storage system can include a processor that executes computer-executable components, at least one memory, and a basic input/output system device that stores respective ones of the computer-executable components executed by the processor. The computer-executable components comprise a power monitor component that monitors an input alternating current power level of the data storage system, a processor management component that causes the processor to transition from a multiple-core operating mode to a single-core operating mode in response to an indication from the power monitor component that the input AC power level has decreased below a threshold, and a backup component that initiates a transfer of data stored by the at least one memory to at least one backup storage device in response to the processor being configured to operate in the single-core operating mode.
