    Foolishly, I did the following:

    Added a new data file on current principal.

    On my mirror the drive letters don't match

    The new file could not be created on mirror.

    Mirror goes into suspended.

    I deleted the new file on principal and attempted to resume but the mirror still needs to create the new file before it can resume.

    I tried to use mapping & subst to trick sql into thinking we temporarily have the r:\ drive, but this didn't work.

    Any other ideas?

    Worst case I will remirror & take the lesson on the chin. But it would be nice to avoid as it's a fairly big DB over a fairly crappy line.

    For future reference, You'd need to take a backup from the principal which includes the new file and restore with move to the mirror
