What's the use of mirrored files

Mirroring is directly interpreted as a mirror image, of course the two are identical (except for the opposite). Used on the computer means exactly the same two sites or files, and so on. Mirroring cannot be done using mirrors to make a mirror image of a single data source/system corruption, to backup each other, and to place the same data or files in different locations for clients (such as mirrored web sites) to be accessible from different sources. The disadvantage of course is the increase in cost, the complexity of the system and the data synchronization problem.

Use of mirrored files

Mirrored files are not directly available and need to be extracted using some virtual optical drive tools. The virtual optical drive is the same principle as the physical CD drive, for example, you bought a genuine disc, then the game disk into the physical optical drive you will be able to play the game, and the virtual optical drive to be added to the mirror file (ISO file, the equivalent of the game CD), when you loaded the virtual optical drive, your computer inside a more than one optical drive, That's the virtual optical drive. Double-click the Virtual CD-ROM shortcut on the desktop, found that the desktop has an icon in the lower right corner, through the right click icon can be operated, and then download mirror like files, in order to complete the installation of the game, if installed after the installation can then load its required mirror into the game.

Daemon Tools is a good virtual optical drive software that can be used to directly use the ISO file as a CD-ROM file. Daemon Tools installation is very simple, after the completion of the file copy work, the system will prompt you to install a virtual optical drive new hardware, need to reboot to complete the hardware and software installation. Daemon tools can automatically set up to start, only on the taskbar to generate a small icon, with the left mouse button click, enter the menu to select the location of the ISO file, you can be the ISO file virtual CD-ROM. In fact, there are many files to extract the image of the software, such as the wizard virtual Optical drive, PowerISO and so on.
