Author SQL Sever 2000 Database Drive Layout
Joe K.

2006-03-27, 8:23 pm


I have SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition with several databases. The
server has
3 disk drives C:, D:, and E:.

I have the operating system loaded on the C:, SQL Server database data
loaded on the D:, and database backup and transaction log files loaded on E:
drive.

What could be better way to lay out the databases and backup files on the 3
disk drives?

I prefer writing backups to a network share on another machine. Otherwise,
your setup is very good. I am assuming these are actually different
physical disks and not different partitions or slices of the same RAID
container. If that is the case, then separating components has no net
effect.
