write-back
Return the letter
Write-back refers to data that gets written back to its original source after being modified elsewhere.
In computing, a write-back cache stores changes locally and updates the main memory only when necessary, improving performance: The system uses write-back caching to reduce disk writes.
In accounting, a write-back reverses a previous write-down, restoring value to an asset.
