When creating a configuration mirror, all data backups and configuration files of each server in the MX-ONE System are stored on MX-ONE Service Node 1.
The command config_mirror creates a data storage in the directory /mxone/mirror on MX-ONE Service Node 1. The data from MX-ONE Service Node 1 itself and all other data needed to reconfigure the system is also stored in this directory.
It is recommended to create a safety backup when creating the configuration mirror. For more information, see Safety Backup.
For each server in the MX-ONE System, there is a tar file on MX-ONE Server 1 containing all necessary configuration files together with data backup files.
The command config_mirror restores a configuration mirror by distributing the data backup files and the configuration files from MX-ONE Server 1 to all servers in the MX-ONE System (including MX-ONE Server 1 itself).
When done, the complete system can be restored by running the command data_restore.
