How do the human-like Cylons work, in 'Battlestar Galactica' (2004-2009)

First It was mentioned that, there are 12 of them. If one dies there memory is uploaded and another gets activated, I thought it was somewhat like cylo in star wars. later, we see all of them operating together, so they sync continously or at certain period? I'm wondering how do they actually work, in data sharing/sync scenario?

PS. My heart weeps for firefly.

    However, each copy is an individual. They're not networked or telepathic or in continuous synchronisation with each other. EDIT: Some of those interactions even have copies of the same model arguing with each other. They're definitely not sharing information or opinions.
