However,aforcedfailovercanbeperformedtorecoverthemirror,withsomedatalossoccurringbecausemirroringisasynchronous.
Akeyadvantageofdatabasemirroringisthatitprovidesquickfailoverandhighavailabilitywithminimalhardwarecostandcomplexity.
Formerly,suchSQLServermirroringsolutionswereoftenfeasibleonlywithexpensive,proprietaryhardware-basedmechanisms.

However,MicrosoftADO.

LogshippingLogshippingissimilartodatabasemirroring.
Itallowsadatabasehostedonaprimaryservertoautomaticallysendtransactionlogstoasecondarydatabaseforduplication.
Thelogrecordsarenottransferredcontinuouslyasindatabasemirroring,butratherinintervals.
Logshippingcomprisesbackingupthetransactionlogsontheprimaryserverinstance,copyingthebacked-uplogstothesecondaryserverinstance,andrestoringthecopiedlogsonthesecondaryserverinstanceperiodically.
TheprimarydatabaseshouldbeconfiguredfortheFullRecoveryorBulk-LoggedRecoverymodel.
ThesecondarydatabaseshouldbeinitializedbyafullrecoveryoftheprimarydatabasewiththeNORECOVERYorSTANDBYoption.
Logshippingcanoptionallyincludeathirdservernamed"mon-itor"torecordthehistoryoflog-shippingoperationsandtoraisealertsduringfailures.
Log-shippingoperationsarecarriedoutbyfourMicrosoftSQLServeragentjobs:backupjob,copyjob,restorejob,andalertjob.
Duringlogshipping,thesecondarydatabaseisnotcompletelysynchronizedwiththeprimarydatabase.
Also,logshippingdoesnotprovideautomaticfailovertothesecondaryserverduringafailure.

Replicationinvolvesapublisherdatabaseinstancethatmakesdataavailableforcopying,adistributorinstanceforcopyingdataandmaintainingmetadata,andsubscriberinstancesthatcanreceivereplicateddata.
