Abstract
A storage system periodically replicates data to another storage system for data backup and protection. The storage system is configured to detect an irregularity potentially causing a fault in the storage system. Such a detected irregularity may a component failure in a storage device, a temperature change in a storage device, etc. In response to the detected irregularity, the storage system increases a replication rate of data to the backup storage system.
