Mirror

technically speaking, an exact copy of something. However, there are two relevant definitions important with regard to computers. 1. to invert an image so its .mirror. reflection is present along with the original. 2. the duplication of Web pages on more than one Web server. This is done to relieve the high demand on the server of a popular Website.
