Abstract

In one aspect, a method includes receiving write I/Os for storage in a primary storage array, splitting the write I/Os to a replica site, storing the write I/Os for storage in the storage array in a cache, periodically de-staging the write I/Os in the cache to a volume and after a cache data loss, restoring lost write I/Os from the cache by using the write I/Os split to the replica site.
