The primary function of an update Mirror feature is to facilitate the modules update process while decreasing internet traffic over an organization's local area network (LAN).
To continually provide the maximum level of protection against the latest threats, all ESET client workstations must regularly check for new program components and detection engine updates. By default, ESET client workstations check for updates on an hourly basis. The client workstations can either obtain these updates over the internet directly from ESET’s update servers or a locally managed update source known as a 'Mirror server” (so-named because it stores an identical copy or “mirror” of the update files that reside on ESET’s update servers).
The Mirror server provides you with the ability to maintain a local copy of the detection engine and program component updates on your network. It helps save bandwidth by centralizing the download and distribution of updates to ESET clients, and also allows you to provide updates to ESET clients who are not directly connected to the internet.
