disk mirroring
Definition
Backup technique in which data is written simultaneously to two or more hard disks. In the event of a disk failure, the computer automatically switches access to the next disk, without loss of data or interrupting data processing. In some configurations, backup disks are maintained at a remote site (mirror site) for additional safety. See also random array of independent disks.
