The term that describes the replication of contents from USB devices that have been modified is data synchronization. This process involves ensuring that the contents of two or more locations (such as USB devices and a primary storage location) are consistent and up to date after modifications have been made. When changes occur on a USB device, data synchronization updates the corresponding storage area to reflect those changes, allowing for seamless access to the most current data.

In contrast, data archiving refers to the process of moving older data that is not frequently accessed to a separate storage for long-term retention, rather than replicating modified content. Data restoration involves recovering data from a backup, typically after data loss, and does not directly relate to the synchronization of modified data. Data mirroring is about creating an exact copy of data in real-time or near-real-time for backup or redundancy, but it does not specifically address replication after modifications. Thus, synchronization is the most appropriate term for keeping modified data consistent across devices.
