Storage Mirroring Recover overview
Storage Mirroring Recover ensures the availability of critical workloads. Using real-time
replication and failover, you can protect data, individual applications, entire servers, or
virtual machines.
Identify your critical workload on your production server, known as the source, and
replicate the workload to a backup server, known as the target. The target server, on a
local network or at a remote site, stores the copy of the workload from the source.
Storage Mirroring Recover monitors any changes to the source workload and sends the
changes to the copy stored on the target server. By replicating only the file changes
rather than copying an entire file, Storage Mirroring Recover allows you to more
efficiently use resources.
