Moving SQL database NETPERFMON to new hardware and noticed some new database files

i just noticed some recent newer database files in the SQL directory - could these be the results of updates for NTA 3.1 and NPM SP4?

i'm building a plan to move my NETPERFMON database to newer hardware and thought NPM only had a single database file named NETPERFMON but then these are appearing.

do i need to retain these newer files NetPerfMon_FGx.mdf or can they be deleted?

You DO NOT want to delete these files, you will want to carry them over to the new server, I beleive they are related to NTA

Hi,

They are indeed related to NTA, For more details, see this thread: NetFlow 3.1 creating additional DB's...

Thanks,

Yann
