Mirror Backup

Mirroring is similar to replication in that the data is replicated to another site, but it is typically done immediately when the data is written rather than done in off hours as is the case with replication. Often a whole system will be mirrored, or sometimes only particular disk drives will be mirrored. Mirrored systems are very useful for maintaining a hot spare of a computer system when up time is critical.
