Description: Replication is the process of copying data to a secondary location for recovery. This process is fundamental in data management and computer systems, as it ensures the availability and integrity of information. Replication can occur at different levels, from databases to complete file systems, and can be synchronous or asynchronous, depending on whether data is copied in real-time or at scheduled intervals. Additionally, replication can be used to improve application performance by distributing the workload across multiple servers. In distributed computing environments, replication is essential for ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery, allowing organizations to quickly restore their operations in the event of failures or data loss.
