Hi All

I have situation where I need to optimize disks space in order to install database. Space should be include for regular database backup and log file..assume that database and backup (log file) on the same disk.. There could be more than 1 disk on the server and we need to analyse all the disks available on the server

How and what method i should be take to optimize it???

Database and their backups should never be on the same disk. What happens when that disk fails? You totally los your ability to recover your database. Please go to Start-->Programs-->Microsoft SQL Server-->Administering SQL Server--> BAcking up and Restoring Databases and read everything there.

GENERAL ADVICE FOR EVERYONE: Please backup all of your databases including master, msdb and model on a regular basis. I am tired of telling people they are screwed. The job you save may be your own.
