There are a few execution plan operators that can "spill" to tempdb Version store activity (for instance because of queries using snapshot isolation or RCSI) I imagine this is not your problem though The most obvious would be explicitly writing data to local or global temporary tables (#tempTableName or #tempTableName). There are lots of things that can cause tempdb usage: My understanding is that tempdb is only used when the server is under memory pressure And the only reason is that machines were not turned off. Now the amount of DB's not backed up is no more than 2-3. It also writes data on backups and checks to a specific table which can be queried via Central Management Server for analysis. Of course modified a little to meet my company's needs.

I used Ola Hallengren's maintenance script to reindex, update stats and checkdb. A procedure that starts at SQL Server startup is a really good candidate for doing statistics and index maintenance, checking for corruption and backing up every morning and every 15 minutes subsequently. At this moment I was solving other issue and realized that SQL Server sp_procoption might be of help in my situation. Running task every 15 minutes via Linked Servers was not a very good idea to me. So 10-20 machines out of 150 were not being backed up. In fact, the main source of evil was the Scheduler On one machine some files were missing so the Scheduler did not work, on another machine problems with permissions, on third machine the OS is too old and so on.

Some kind of script plus Windows Scheduler seemed the most natural solution so I opted for it.įor scripting I chose Powershell as it is able to get every piece of the task done including sending e-mail notifications. script + Windows Scheduler on every machine Īs my company is very intolerant to anything that implies extra bills I had 3 options left.I've found several ways to get the job done:
