Yes.

I'm not sure if service replication does not constitute a little
artificial term here.
When I hear service replication, I picture manually configuring remote
servers
(FTP, Web or other) and then mirroring the data from the origin server
onto them.
The first part of this process is more or less manual, and one-time
only.
The second task is automated and periodical/continuous.
Performing these both steps allow us to provide service on the replica,
but i'm not sure if it's necessary to have a special terminology for
this.
Do I understand service replication right, or does it have a broader
sense ?
(sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult)
