I have an already mirrored D: drive on a Windows 2012r2 server.
I forgot to turn on shadow copy before I mirrored the disk.
Can I enable shadow copy while the disk is mirrored?
Or do I need to break the mirror first?

Hi,
I tested in my lab, it's OK to create Shadow copy after we mirrored the drive.


Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your answer Anne.
Much faster than breaking the mirror and then mirroring again.
I will try this weekend.
Anne,
Now that I have your attention I have one more question.
I have another mirrored disk on the same 2012r2 server.
This disk has 2 partitions C: and E:
I want to extend the C: partition by adding E: to it.
I was under the impression that to extend the partition I have to break the mirror first.
Is this correct?
Thanks a lot for all your help.
