Note

For information about the impact of removing mirroring, see Removing Database Mirroring (SQL Server).

  • If you intend to restart mirroring on the database

    Any log backups taken on the principal database after mirroring was removed must all be applied to the mirror database before you can restart mirroring.

  • If you do not intend to restart mirroring

    Optionally, you can recover the former mirror database. On the server instance that was the mirror server, you can use the following Transact-SQL statement:

    RESTORE DATABASE database_name WITH RECOVERY;

    Important

    If you recover this database, two divergent databases with the same name are online. Therefore, you need to ensure that clients can access only one of them-typically the most recent principal database.
