Disk Mirroring Definition

Disk mirroring is a data protection technique where an exact copy of data is maintained on two or more disks in real-time. It ensures redundancy by writing identical data to multiple drives, commonly used in RAID 1 configurations. If one disk fails, the mirrored copy remains intact, allowing seamless data recovery.

Disk Mirroring Explained Easy

Imagine you have two notebooks, and every time you write something in one, an invisible hand writes the exact same thing in the second notebook. If you lose one, the other still has everything.

Disk Mirroring Origin

Disk mirroring became popular in enterprise computing during the 1980s as businesses sought solutions for data redundancy.

Disk Mirroring Etymology
