I am new to SQL Server. When the backup fails because of the disk space. I do not see backup file of incompleted or failed backup. Does window removes the file, because it is a failed backup??

How do find the location on T-Logs.

Thanks
Toshi

No ... well, yes, maybe!

The file is created, written to, the disk is full (or some other error occurs) and the partially written file is deleted - because on its own it is useless.

An error is written to the log.

Right click on the db in em or ssms and go to properties -> files tab, you'll see log file path, or query sysfiles1 (sql2k) or sys.sysfiles (sql2k5).
