How mirroring synchronizes non-database files

Mirroring only synchronizes database files.

To synchronize other files required for your application (CSP files, images, documents, etc.) between the two servers that make up the mirror set follow one of the approaches:

  1. Place those files on a shared disk by introducing a NAS or similar device
  2. Or use file sync software to synchronize files between two servers.

The title of this article is somewhat misleading. 

As the first line states, it doesn't, then tells you how to do it without mirroring.

Which is all well and good, and correct information as best I understand it, although option one does introduce a single point of failure should the NAS be unavailable. But the title just doesn't match the content.

Disappointing really as I'd love mirroring to be able to sync non DB files, or just file as we normally call them, because it doesn't mirror database files either, it mirrors database content.
