Mirroring / Snapshots

  • We'd like to mirror data to a single destination, then use that database on a couple of other servers.

    Is there a way to create a snapshot, and somehow "back it up" and ship it to another server?

  • No.

    A snapshot is just the old version of pages from the source DB that have changed since the snapshot was created. Removed from the source DB, it's meaningless as it is not a complete database.
