We're able to create a snapshot of a 1.4TB database by using the following SQL commands:
use master
go
CREATE DATABASE tws_prod_snapshot ON
( NAME = tws_prod, FILENAME =
'E:\MSSQL\DATA\tws_prod_ss_file.ss' )
AS SNAPSHOT OF tws_prod;
GO
But we're getting an error message when updating the source tws_prod. The drive we're using has 500G of free space. We've run DBCC CHECKDB and there are no errors in the file. What should we try next? Thanks, Steve
