I've heard a little bit about being able to "Mirror" websites. And someone wanted to mirror mine. I really have no idea what mirror means and how to setup something like this. Could someone explain this stuff to me? Thanks!

Basically a mirror site is an exact copy.
Sometimes sites have multiple mirrors to allow people to access their content when they're especially busy. Mirrors are usually held on different servers in different locations.
Or... the other type of mirror is where basically someone copies your content and sets it up under a completly different name and design. So the content is mirrored but it appears like a different site.

Ok, so if one site (server) gets overloaded or shuts down for some reason, then having the content on another site (server) will take over, so there is virtually no downtime?

Yeah... that's about the size of it!
