Abstract

A system for resolving write pressure includes a primary storage unit, a backup storage unit, and a processor. The primary storage unit comprises a primary storage unit input buffer and a volume storage unit. The backup storage unit comprises a backup storage unit input buffer and a volume backup storage unit. The processor is to: store a first set of input data in the backup storage unit input buffer in the event that the primary storage unit input buffer is unable to store the first set of input data and transfer the first set of input data to the primary storage unit input buffer as space is available after storing data from the primary storage unit input buffer in the volume storage unit.
