normally its just held on by those 4 brackets. you can losen the bottom two and take off the top two and lift the mirror out. it would help to have two people. i have run across a time or two where construction adhesive was used as well...thats a PITA

Some mirror clips are spring loaded.
If you have this type push the clips on the top of the mirror up, tilt mirror forward and lift the mirror out of the bottom clips.

I'd remove it with a hammer, standing under a ladder, while a black cat is crossing your path, tomorrow on 6-6-06. 
Get some help, with gloves, and unscrew the bottom clips, and let it slide down, slowly.
How big is that mirror?

Some get adhesive to make sure the mirror stays in place.
Unless there is a huge amount glue back there, a carpenter's metal square can be used to try and seperate the glue from the wall.
They also have a chemical in spray can that disolves glue that you can use.

If it is glued on, be very careful. Some "cups" would be the best way to pull it, if it's glued.

I'm a painter by trade, and I've pulled a LOT of mirrors. 99% of those have been put on one of two ways. One, they had the cheap little plastic brackets that are screwed to the wall, leaving the screw exposed. Two, and more common now, are the metal J-clips (top ones are spring-loaded, bottom ones are solid). Removal is simply to lift the mirror enough to pull the bottom of the mirror out of the bottom J-clips, then slowly lower the mirror out of the top ones.
The only time I've seen adhesive on mirrors were on ones in the living rooms of homes where I expected to see the Brady Bunch when I walked in the door...
