Recently I formatted my computer and installed fresh SQL Server in it. I installed the AdventureWorks database in my database. Once done, I wanted to run few test scripts on my database. Just like every DBA, I decided to take backup of my database – this way I can restore it back to attain an original database state. As soon as I ran the backup command I ended up with the following error. This error is due to a permissions issue on the local disk and user account which is running SQL Server. In this blog post we will talk about the operating system error.
Performance Tuning is always the most interesting subject when we talk about software application. While I was recently discussing performance tuning with my friend, we started to talk about the best practices for TempDb.

One of the discussion points was that we should put TempDB on the drive which is always giving better performance.
