Is it safe to move the Sharepoint Sql database log (.ldf) files to another drive on the same server without moving the .mdf files.

Hello&nbsp;Al79_&nbsp;,&nbsp;See the steps outline on Move User Databases the site. Stop all of the SharePoint services and perform full system and user backups prior to the move.&nbsp;I hope this helps.&nbsp;Norm

Al79_ yes, sure! Even more - it's recommended to separate mdf and ldf on deferent drives.&nbsp;https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/sharepoint/administration/best-practices-for-sql-server-in-a-sharepoint-server-farm#design-storage-for-optimal-throughput-and-manageability&nbsp;
