Replication, in its most general sense, refers to the process of creating a copy of something. This concept applies across various fields, from the biological replication of DNA to the reproduction of artistic works. However, in the realm of information technology, our primary focus shifts to data replication. This is the process of creating and maintaining multiple copies of data on different storage systems or in different locations. Understanding data replication is crucial in our increasingly data-driven world, as it forms a cornerstone of modern computing infrastructure.
