hi ,I am having a development server:
C: drive , installation files and System databases mdf and ldf sits here
F drive : 300 GB free space( backups are stored here : i know its a bad idea )
G drive :286 GB free Space ( all user databases MDF and LDF sits here)
we have a plan to move all files from F drive to G drive and Rename the G drive to F drive
My plans were
Plan A .i would have to shut down sql server, rename the Drive to F and then attach the database mdf and ldf files with new F: drive names
Plan B .backup all the databases to some other location (N/W share ) and restore with changing the mdf ldf locations.
which is the better one and also is there any other way to do it ?
and do i have to check for orphan users ?and how about execute permissions ?
Please give me some suggestions
Thanks
