1. A method for streaming data using a collection of block sets, the method comprising:
monitoring, during a pause in a delta generation request received from a host device for the collection of block sets, a write rate at which write requests are issued to a storage device within a time interval;
evaluating the write rate against a threshold write rate value within the time interval;
continuing the pause of the delta generation request upon determining that the write rate is at least as high as the threshold write rate value; and
resuming the delta generation request upon determining that the write rate is less than the threshold write rate value.
