6 Click Update Now, the task runs immediately.

Mirror tasks and how they work

The mirror task replicates the update files from the first accessible repository defined in the
repository list, to a mirror site on your network. The most common use of this task is to mirror
the contents of the McAfee download site to a local server.
After you replicate the McAfee site that contains the update files, computers on your network
can download the files from the mirror site. This approach is

practical

because it allows you to
update any computer on your network, whether or not it has Internet access; and

efficient

because your systems are communicating with a server that is probably closer than a McAfee
Internet site, economizing access and download time.
