Abstract
A method for backing up data, that includes making a detection, by a volatile storage firmware, that data communication to a volatile storage component is degraded, initiating a direct memory access (DMA) engine to copy the data from the volatile storage component to a non-volatile storage device, and in response to initiating copying of the data, initiating a shutdown of the volatile storage component.
