Hi,

I am calculating database capacity planning for next 6 months. How much disk space server will need for next 2,3,4 5,6 months. Is there any scripts for this purpose?

Thanks

Here's what I use and wrote: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2008/12/16/How-to-track-database-growth-across-multiple-SQL-Server-instances.aspx

So I record the sizes everyday across my landscape and can graph out the data to make predictions about the future.
