What is the process of cloning data between drives to provide redundancy known as?

Striping
Mirroring
Spanning
Pooling

The correct answer is: Mirroring

Cloning data between drives to provide redundancy is commonly known as mirroring. Mirroring refers to the process of creating an exact copy of data on multiple drives, ensuring that if one drive fails, the data can still be accessed from the remaining drives. Striping (A) does not provide redundancy as it spreads data across multiple drives for faster access. Spanning (C) combines multiple drives into one logical drive, but does not involve cloning or provide redundancy. Pooling (D) involves combining multiple physical drives into one large storage pool, but does not necessarily involve cloning or mirroring of data.
