• Here is a link related to Creating a database snapshot.

    You can go ahead a create a snapshot based on the Mirrored Database that you have (in Synchronized state). There are other things to consider in a snapshot, like how sparse files are used, the space usage as presented on the explorer vs. the actual disk usage.

    basic syntax:

    CREATE DATABASE <DatabaseSnapshotName>

    (NAME = '<Logical Data File Name>', FILENAME = '<Valid Snapshot Full path and filename>')

    AS SNAPSHOT OF <Databasename>;

    For a Database called DB1:

    CREATE DATABASE DB1_SS1

    (NAME = 'DB1', FILENAME = 'E:\MSSQL\Snapshot\DB1_Snapshot.SS1')

    AS SNAPSHOT OF DB1;

    And then you can go ahead and issue :

    USE DB1_SS1

    GO

    SELECT ..... your queries...
