Hi good morning
I have a sql server with 755Gb with 214 GB space. During the weekend, there is a massive change in our sharepoint (management decided to restrcuture how document library file structure is and moving/deleting files etc..). By doing so, our WSS_CONTENT db is now has 229Gb of data file usage and 93Gb of log file. There is basically no unuse space in the data and log file. I am thinking of doing a compressed backup of this wss_content. Will there a chance that after backup, i can fit this 324 Gb of db to 214 Gb of space. What i am not sure is what happen if i do a back up with compress and then still not enough space, how is the server react, will it hang or just say backup incomplete. That haven't happen to me before.
Or is there a way to handle this situation? Any help/suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
thx, Ted.
