Problem

I have a linked server to a remote computer and doing some insert, update and delete operations between local and remote databases.
I want to know how much data is transfered when operation is doing. How can I do it?
My local database is Sql server 2008 and remote database is SQlserver2ksp3

Solution

This sounds like a job for PERFMON, which is included with the latest windows server offerings.

Basically you're going to setup a counter to watch the MSSQL data transfer between the servers.

You may be able to use a counter inside of MSSQL to track this as well, but I'm not familiar with any functionality that provides that.
