In cross-site mirroring, an independent disk pool that is being geographically mirrored so that it is a replica of the production copy of the independent disk pool. If a switchover or failover causes the system that owns the mirror copy to become the current primary node, the mirror copy becomes the production copy of the independent disk pool. 2, record 1, English, - mirror%20image

Il est possible, à peu ou pas de frais, de faire une image miroir de votre installation de Windows. Contrairement au disque original de Windows ou au disque de récupération qui accompagnait votre ordinateur, l’image a pour avantage principal de faire une copie intégrale de l’ordinateur au moment précis qui vous convient. Ainsi, en cas de panne matérielle ou logicielle, vous pourrez récupérer votre ordinateur dans l’état précis où il était au moment de la création de cette image, vos imprimantes configurées, vos logiciels installés et paramétrés, vos comptes utilisateurs créés et tous les documents qu’ils contiennent. 3, record 1, French, - image%20miroir

Mirror site : because the Internet population has exploded in recent years, a lot of archive servers can’t cope with the load. One solution is to create an exact copy of a server--a process called mirroring. Mirror sites divert some of the traffic from the original site. It's not unusual to find a dozen or more mirrors of busy ftp sites. 2, record 2, English, - mirror

The helical aperture facsimile transmitter is fairly common on low-to mid-volume fax units. The original is roller fed over a flatbed copy platen and illuminated by an area lamp. Lens and mirror optics reflect and focus one scan line of the moving document at a time, first through a fixed horizontal slit aperture, and then through a rotating helical aperture. The rotating of the helical aperture produces one lateral scan of the original per revolution, with the passing light being focused a final time onto a photocell for conversion to an electrical signal. 1, record 3, English, - rotating%20helical%20aperture%20scanner
