 This part will show you how to setup a database mirroring on SQL Server. Because this feature needs 2 different servers (3 if you use witness server) so I will use the server that I've already set on the previous part when showing how to setup SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group, you can check that part on:  here So in summary I already have 2 servers that host SQL Server, called SQL01 and SQL02, the servers are already joined to domain and can connect to one another. And now I want to setup a database mirroring from SQL01 to SQL02, here are the steps that should be done: 1.

What I use: Windows Server 2019 evaluation edition from Microsoft:  Windows Server 2019 ISO SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition:  SQL Server Developer Edition Downloads  (this, you need to login first because official SQL Server Developer Edition now can only be downloaded from Visual Studio website) SQL Server Management Studio:  SSMS Notes: if you are planning to use SQL Server 2012 or earlier, you need to download .NET Framework 3.5 installer too because Windows Server
