Abstract
Techniques for achieving application high availability via application-transparent battery-backed replication of persistent data are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system can detect a failure that causes an application of the computer system to stop running. In response to detecting the failure, the computer system can copy persistent data written by the application and maintained locally at the computer system to one or more remote destinations, where the copying is performed in a manner that is transparent to the application and while the computer system runs on battery power. The application can then be restarted on another computer system using the copied data.
