Mirroring Insights

What is Mirroring?

Mirroring, in technology, generally refers to the process of creating an exact replica of data or a system onto another storage device or location. This is commonly used for data backup and recovery, high availability systems, and content delivery networks (CDNs). For example, database mirroring creates a redundant copy of a database that can be activated in case of failure. Screen mirroring duplicates the display of one device on another.
