Hi
At the moment our SBO Database files are relatively small in size (the LDF and MDF files), they are only in the MB side. Due to a sudden drastic growth in Hard Drive space used to what we have I investigated the Data folder under SQL Server. Our Data folder is on another drive (E:// Drive) and our backups on another so all the E:// Drive will have is the data for SQL Server.
I noticed under the System Databases that the msdbdata and msdblog Files (MDF and LDF) are pretty big in size (50GB / 40GB respectively), can anyone tell me how this System Database file got so big and is there a connection between these System Databases to my SBO Databases on the SQL Server.
(All SBO Databases have backup recovery as Simple and Autoshrink on, there is also a maintenance plan in place)
