Implementation of mirror database consist of special set of step that enables the SQL to perform mirroring.
In this post I would be discussing the Mirror implementation from SSMS which is easy and in our next post we discuss about T SQL implementation.

2.Take transaction log back up of principal database using right click -)Task-)backup-) transaction log
3. Open Mirror Server right click  Mirror  database-)Task-)restore-) full

5.Open Principal server go Task-) Mirror -) configure-)Set the principal-)Set the mirror-)Set the witness (if you want automatic fail over to mirror database in case principal database die)

And yes above Five steps are enough to start your mirroring using SSMS.
