Abstract
A mechanism is provided for caching backed-up data locally until successful replication of the backed-up data. Responsive to an indication to back up one or more pieces of identified data from a local storage device, a determination is made as to whether a primary storage device is available. Responsive to the primary storage device being available, the one or more pieces of identified data are backed up to the primary storage device and a local replication cache. Responsive to the backed-up data being replicated from the primary storage device to a secondary storage device, the backed-up data is removed from the local replication cache.
