Single Machine
Description Source and target Storage Mirroring components are loaded on the same machine allowing data to be
replicated from one location to another on the same volume or to a separate volume on the same
machine.
Applications This configuration is useful for relocating data within existing machines so that open files can be backed
up. If the source and target copies of the data are located on different drives, this configuration does
support high availability of the replication set in the event that the source hard drive fails.
Considerations This configuration does not provide high availability for the entire machine. This configuration must be
configured carefully so that an infinite loop is not created.
