• Can mirroring be initialized with a copy only backup?

    From MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191495.aspx)

    Restoring a copy-only full backup is the same as restoring any other full backup.

    Basically you use it so that you don't break the backup chain so go for it!

    It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

    Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
