====== Dummy files ====== Dummy files can be very helpful in a Server environment. For example, having a 5 GB dummy file on the log and database partitions of an Exchange Server will help you resolve a space issue quickly. Simply delete the dummy file, and then you’d have some time to address the issue properly.
