You posted this neat script a few weeks back. Now I have question or two.
1. If I were to run this on a 15 minute interval and planned to kep said
data for a period of two months, what impact for size would that have on my
database assuming that I have 30-40 NAS?
2. How much impact would this be to automate. I think I can manually add
this to the scheduled tasks on my SQL server. How would I add this to run
on all 30 NAS automatically? What impact on performance etc....
