I'm starting to build a Web application using SQL Server and I talked to my client to make the database backup available, avoiding access to their production base, since it does not have a certification base. The 10GB .bak was generated where its uncompressed base comes close to 50GB and I do not have enough space on my machine because I have an SSD with only 250GB.
My question, the possibility of running this database directly from an External HD, since only I will develop application?
I am discarding the possibility of generating the script with the structure of the database, since I need the data to build the application.
Thank you and thank you in advance.
