Managing Disk Space

Is there a tool or trick/tip for managing disk space on SQL Server
(database/tran log size vs. free disk space)?
Thanks.
No tricks really. You have to chose the best recovery model for your
database, and an appropriate backup plan, to keep the transaction log files
in check. Also, defragmenting your tables will help avoid disk space
wastage. Please read up on recovery model, BACKUP/RESTORE, DBCC DBREINDEX,
DBCC INDEXDEFRAG.

|||Hi,
For Managing the growth you can use the Performance monitor. You create the
Alerts in performance monitor
which can raise an network message / write in application log based on the
threshold limit set for each counters.
You can also create your own alerts using SQL Agent from SQL Enterprise
manager.
Monitor disk space , see the belew link.

Apart from this you can use the 3rd party tool.
