Is there any counter that would help me identify what process is
causing a lot of I/O operations on the hard drive over a whole day?

Hi Yaro137,

as Dave stated, Diskmon could help you if you are using "legacy" OS's and if
you already using Vista/W2K8 you can also use the ressource monitor (Task
Manager -> Performance -> Ressource Monitor -> Disk).
MS has done here a really great job and you can directly see what process /
app is generating so much I/O operations on your disks.

Hope that helps
Regards
Ramazan

Well, it's 2003 Server actually. I suspect that something to do with
SQL causes backup to take much longer than usually and I wanted to be
able to confirm that by setting up the performance monitor. DiskMon
isn't really telling me what's exactly sending the I/O requests.
Thanks for your help.
