Backup a largedatabase

  • Hi,

    I have a large database which i want to make a backup, but we want to eliminate the data of the main database when the backup is done.. What's the better strategy to make this? Create different files of backup or we can concat information in the original file of backup?

  • You can use striped backup but its is sometimes risky

    Backup database database name to disk='C:\backupfile_1.bak',disk='D:\backupfile_2.bak','E:\backupfile_3.bak

    You need all these files for proper restore. Any corruption in single file can make the entire set useless
