Moving TEMPDB

  • Other considerations besides just moving the files (code should be fine that you provided)

    Consider the size of the files

    Consider more files than just the default 1 data file

    Consider the growth settings for the files

    Monitor for activity and adjust as necessary if contention in tempdb arises.

  • ensure the sql service account has full control permissions on the E:\sqldata directory.

    You will need to restart the instance for the change to take effect.

    Delete the old files after successful move.

    You cannot backup tempdb so not sure what you mean by that.
