Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

Was wondering if I can I do a SQL "mirror" db backup (FULL, DIFFERENTIAL, OR Trans_Log) to different locations same time. For example, can I write 2 sets of the SAME transaction logs backup files to File_Server_A & File_Server_B without messing up the just- in-time restore process.

PS - If so, we have the options to use Litespeed or native 2005 SQL backup software.

Thanks in advance.

May have answered my our question. The answer is yes with "MIRROR TO" keyword:

BACKUP DATABASE MyDatabase TO DISK='E:\MyDatabase.bak' MIRROR TO DISK='F:\MyDatabase.bak'
