Database mirroring setup without downtime

Does anyone know if you can mirror a database while users are banging away o
n
it? I can't see how I'd get the log backups in sync on the mirror server,
it's pretty busy with transactions. I've done some small scale testing and i
t
seems like you can apply a log backup while the data on the primary is being
changed and it still sets up the mirror ok. It's a 24/7 system and we have t
o
schedule some downtime otherwise.
Thanks in advance.Hi
How do you know that log backups are ansync?
