Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and an article of manufacture for preventing data loss. Modified data is stored in a volatile storage. The stored modified data is copied onto a non-volatile storage. A determination is made as to whether the non-volatile storage should be checked for errors. In certain implementations, on determining that the nonvolatile storage should be checked for errors the non-volatile storage is checked for errors. If on checking the non-volatile storage is found to have an error, an indication of the error is provided.
