Reduced downtime

Users continue to access data while system performs file backup.

Disk failure recovery

System detects failed drive, continues to run application, and discontinues mirroring until drive is repaired.

Resume mirroring

Data consistency

System writes data to both partners of a mirrored pair, data is always consistent, even during the repair process.
