APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q198064



SYMPTOMS
When saved with new filters applied, the SQL Server Profiler replaces the original trace file from a previously saved trace file. The filtered data is deleted from the file before the save and cannot be recovered.



CAUSE
This is by design. This intended behavior allows a large trace file to be filtered to just the required information.



WORKAROUND
If the original trace is still required, it is a good practice to make a copy of the original trace file before filtering.
