Asynchronous remote

site is updated, the data does not need to be updated
synchronously at the mirroring site to finish the update. In
this way, performance is not reduced due to data mirroring.

Backup
A collection of data stored on (usually removable) non-
volatile storage media for purposes of recovery in case the
original copy of data is lost or becomes inaccessible; also
called a backup copy. To be useful for recovery, a backup
must be made by copying the source data image when it is
in a consistent state. The act of creating a backup.

up without seriously affecting applications that use the data.
Bandwidth
The numerical difference between the upper and lower
frequencies of a band of electromagnetic radiation. A
deprecated synonym for data transfer capacity that is often
incorrectly used to refer to throughput.
Baud rate
The maximum rate of signal state changes per second on a
communications circuit. If each signal state change
corresponds to a code bit, then the baud rate and the bit rate
are the same. It is also possible for signal state changes to
correspond to more than one code bit, so the baud rate may
be lower than the code bit rate.
