Cannon: We used mirroring extensively last with version 12 (before I ‘retired’). We used it at many of our sites since mirroring was first available (can’t remember which version that was).
Of course now we are on v16 so things will likely have changed. We will be implementing mirroring with that version once we get the project developed. With the earlier versions we could only keep the mirror working reliably if we had the log files written to the server’s local drives. If there is an interruption to the access to the drives where the logs are to be stored, the mirror would stop. We had the log files being merged into the backup data file on the other server every 20 minutes. This way if there was a problem getting a log file sent to the backup server the main server’s logs didn’t stop being created. Just our experiences and how we did it.
