Claim 17:
18. A method comprising:
initiating a background copy process in a host device coupled to first and second storage systems to copy data from the first storage system to the second storage system, the host device being separate from the first and second storage systems;
receiving in the host device input-output processing pressure feedback information from at least one of the first and second storage systems, the input-output processing pressure feedback information comprising at least one notification sent from at least one of the first and second storage systems to the host device and indicating at least a threshold level of processing pressure resulting in at least one of the first and second storage systems at least in part from processing of input-output operations of the background copy process; and
adjusting in the host device one or more characteristics of the background copy process based at least in part on the received input-output processing pressure feedback;
wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
