The MSSQL_FileGroup class represents the groups of operating system files that store a database. A SQL Server filegroup categorizes the operating system files containing data from a single SQL Server database to simplify database administration tasks, such as a backup. A filegroup cannot contain the operating system files of more than one database, though a single database can contain more than one filegroup.
