For all practical reasons, I can’t see why you should keep them longer than a month (mostly, a month is too long, seeing how most DHCP leases are only good for a week, and it’s usually hijacked DHCP clients who are attacking you). I’d recommend you back up the data just as far as a [...]

But in your case it looks you’re restoring a local database to the same server from a local backup. Have you checked the path and the “replace” option? If you used SSMS, please [...]

Looking to resolve SQL Server performance problems caused by using many temporary tables
Yes, a RAM disk would provide you with an ultra fast tempdb, however there are very few databases which actually need this sort of speed boost. Purchasing enough RAM to be able to create a RAM disk large enough to fit your needs may get very expensive. Once you start needing to use the 4 [...]

Restoring a SQL Server 2005 database from a public share backup
No that is not correct. You have been able to restore from a network share as far back as SQL 7 (and probably further back). The UI (Enterprise Manager and Management Studio) will only show you the local drives on the SQL Server. However if you use the RESTORE DATABASE command you can specify a [...]

What are the best practices for storing SQL Server application/program files on a SAN?
Putting the actual EXEs on the SAN shouldn’t really be a problem. I generally prefer to put them on local storage as local storage is cheaper than SAN storage. As SQL shouldn’t be reading from them very often except on starting the service it shouldn’t be a problem. If the system isn’t in production I’d [...]

Are there any issues with setting up SQL Server 2005 log shipping with TDP & TSM?
There should not be provided that you don’t use TSM to do any log backups as that would break the backup chain between the log shipping server and the log receiving server.
