I do not have any input on database future growth from business side so want to design standard approach for space management and database future capacity growth settings. I could get history information whatever available on SQL database apart from that I do not have any source to design future capacity growth of database so anyone could help me to make a standard approach to set data file size, how much free space need to keep, auto grow and restriction. I also want to know best size figure for setting alerts for proactive action for increasing the database size. Please let me know for more details…….

The only mechanisms I know for making this type of estimate is to evaluate data over time. You want to be able to track the size of your databases, yes, but also want to track the number of users in the system and the transaction count. Correlating all these together will give your best extrapolation to say that data growth will be X amount for Y amount of users performing Z level of transactions. Modifying any one of those numbers will change the output for your estimations.

You can use the below Query to get the value from the backupsize of your database that how much the database has grownup after the last backup. This SP will calculate the size of database from last backup to current one.

The long-running operations are caused by locking and by the underlying physical sub-system. You must resolve this conflict to achieve a scalable system. So forecasting of future growth of disk is necessary to avoid these type of problem this can be easily overcome by a third party tool as well
