Our sql server databases are being mirrored to another server.
We are also taking regular end of day backups.
Question:
Is it necessary to do backups since mirroring is in place or vice versa?
Thanks

Yes, you should always take backups, especially since mirroring requires a full and log backup to initialise to begin with
Mirroring provides availability not recovery

Mirroring won't protect you from data corruption / loss but backups can.
