1) You will definetly have the performance gain by adhereing to the tips listed in Dinesh’s link. 2) If the database goes to suspect mode then check the location of additional file disk has required free space to go. 3) You can continue taking full database backup which will take care of all the files in the database. For more information refer to the books online for FILE Backups topic also. Satya SKJ
