Whenever this creature attacks, for each attacking modified creature you control, create a tapped and attacking token that's a copy of that creature. Exile those tokens at end of combat. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)

Official rulings
The 8 most recent official rulings for Mirror-Style Master, newest first.
- Backup confers only abilities that are actually printed below it. Any abilities that are gained by the permanent are ignored, including abilities gained due to a resolving spell or ability or copy effects.
- If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
- If a backup ability targets the creature with backup, that creature will get +1/+1 counters, but it won’t gain additional abilities.
- Although the tokens enter the battlefield attacking, they were never declared as attacking creatures (for the purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).
- If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.
- Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “[this creature] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.
- If a permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a card with a backup ability or a token is created that is a copy of that card, the order of the printed abilities is maintained.
- The abilities that backup grants to the target creature are determined only once, at the time the ability triggers. They won’t change if the permanent with backup loses any abilities before the backup ability resolves.
