Hi all,
while taking a database backup, in middle say out of 200GB, after 100GB, i got the message that disk is full. can we change the path at that time? ofcource we have to check everything before backing up a database, but what we have to do in this scenario? this is an interview question....

If the backup runs out of space it will fail.

In other words...you will have to do the entire backup again. You can however take a backup of selected filegroups and put each of the backups on a separat device but afaik you have to do this "manually" one at a time...
