Hi

We are implementing a new application. I got a backup with empty tables from the vendor. I would like to create 3 additional primary data files to improve the performance.

Will adding the 3 PRIMARY file to the database once I restore automatically spread data among the 4 primary data files? The empty tables were created when the database had only one primary datafile.
Any links to articles about a similar situation would be awsone.
Thank you

AK

No. Restore recreates the database exactly as it was at the point of backup, so if the backup was taken when the DB had one file, once the backup is restored, the restored database will have only one file.
