Hi All

I've had a spate of space-issues lately where a single data-file is over 100 GB in size (and is too big to backup or manage).

Has anyone read of a best-practice document where data-file sizes are 'capped' at -say- 20 GB and another one started?

You could have spread data files accross multiple drives to reduce I/O contention issue and space issues.
