When i try to shrink a file it gives error
8985 - Could not locate db.mdf in sysfiles.DBCC execution completed.
What does that mean.What does this affect.Can i take the Db offline?
Also i noticed that DB was not getting backedup.The folder creation date is latest but there was nothing in that folder.The management plan is set to remove backups every 20 days.Please help

Shrinkfile takes a logical file name, not a physical file name.
