About

In computer programming, a mirror is a reflection mechanism that is completely decoupled from the object whose structure is being introspected1.

Data mirroring is a replication technique: information is continuously copied in real-time to multiple storage devices, creating a backup; this technique is essential for keeping data vaiable and secure, however, it does require additional system resources, so, it usually impacts performance, and increases costs2.
