    Hi,

    Yes but it's being deprecated - it's been on the list for that since maybe SQL 2012 or so. You can find it in the list of supported features for the specific editions in SQL Server:

    Full safety means that the transactional safety is set to FULL which implies that the operating mode is synchronous.

    There are two transaction safety levels: - full and off - which are Safety Full and Safety off
    Full transaction safety causes the session to operate synchronously in high-safety mode where the principal server waits for an acknowledgement from the mirror.
    By default a session is set to full transaction safety so there really isn't anything special to do to implement this. You just set up mirroring following the documentation:

    Okay...so you made me look it up. It was 2012 when it was announced and it is still on the list of things to be deprecated in a future release.
