I archived a ton of records from a database, and it is expected to grow very slowly going forward. So please don't ask if I really need to shrink it or not. Yes...I definitely need to shrink it. I'm thinking it only needs to be 5GB now. But I don't know how to shrink it without it running for a very long time.
408,092 MB Size
405,195 MB Space Available
I only have about 70 GB spare space on the drive that holds the log files, so I can't have it growing huge while the shrink is running.
Anyone know any tricks to get this done more efficiently?
