Questions

  1. Can't create snapshot database on remote server location if NTFS filesystem? Seen in below MS KL limitations, FAT32 not support snapshot databases. But our storage is NTFS filesystem(NAS storage).http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175158.aspx#Prerequisites
  2. Any suggestion to create snapshot on NAS storage area wihtout any sparse files errors?
    Note: Able to create snapshot database if it is local disk on the server and
    not able to create if it remote server shared location

Thanks in advance.
