backup and recovery

  • Hello everyone,

    I have a database with 1_Data.mdf and five

    2_Data.Ndf, 3_Data.Ndf, 4_Data.Ndf, 5_Data.Ndf files, my backups are on 1_date.bak file (data backups) full backup on weekend and differential on weekdays. My question is in case I need to run recovery, will SQLServer be able to spread across five different data files with 1 backup file or am I in trouble?

    Thanks for help

  • Should be ok on the same server. Have to test this, though.

  • Do this all the time to seperate read tables from read/write tables and have never had an issue with single Backup file (Just test them periodically to make sure no instabilities/corruption in the file).

  • We do this without issue as well where multiple .MDF files go into a single .BAK file. We've not had a failure, though we do test periodically, as Antares has already indicated.
