Mirroring/Replication is the automated process of writing data to two drives simultaneously. Mirroring is used to provide redundancy. If one drive fails, the redundant drive will continue to store the data and allow access to it. The failed drive can then be replaced and the drive set can be re-mirrored (RAID Level 1).
