If SQL Server Database Mirroring is going to die. How can I guarantee high availability quick recovery of the database?

The Database Mirroring feature of SQL Server is going to die: This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Use AlwaysOn Availability Groups instead. Anyone knows when? What are my options for a High Availability (and quick recovery) database? What is a database mirroring sql server?

Database Mirroring SQL Server


Database Mirroring is used to move the database transactions from one SQL Server database (Principal database) to another SQL Server database (Mirror database) on a different instance. In SQL Server Log Shipping and Mirroring can work together to provide solutions for high availability and disaster recovery.

As noted, mirroring is not dead. (At least not yet.) The general population doubts that Microsoft would totally abandon HA for Standard Edition. However, there are other methods. In the SQL Server 2012 documentation when referring to mirroring it says: "If your edition of SQL Server does not support AlwaysOn Availability Groups, use log shipping."

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143729.aspx There is plenty of instruction on using log shipping. EDIT: You might read Kin's links at SQL Server Log Shipping: File copy options?
