Get backup folder sizes from shared Location
Got a message from the Operation team as below
Hi Harsha, I'm seeing a larger than normal rate of change for a week day on the backups for the SQL2000 servers. Did anything run differently yesterday compared to Monday?
I have 22 sql servers and all the Weekend and Monthly backups goes to the location questioned.
To get the whole 22 servers backup and each folder size would had taken a long time. So below is the script what I created to get the total folder level sizes.
To be noted.
- Please provide the folder path to the variable @FolderPath
- Please provide the server names in the insert list.
- The Folder date is in integer format e.g. 20211202
--Dir results to store the DIR results of the folder list
if object_id('DIR_Results','U') is not null
drop table DIR_Results
go
create table DIR_Results
(
id int identity(1,1),
Output_result varchar(2000)
)
go
--DIR results to be stored folder level
if OBJECT_ID('DIR_FOlder_list_Results','U') is not null
drop table DIR_FOlder_list_Results
go
create table DIR_FOlder_list_Results
