I'm following up on an old thread where this was mentioned:

I've searched around and haven't been able to find a good explanation
for how this works and how it is intended to be architected into a site.

Is the point of this feature to basically reduce/optimize network
traffic from a second machine with durus clients to a file based
storage server on a primary machine? Or is there some more
complicated replication (and fault tolerance) of some sort at work?

Thanks!
