space drops to a preset level. Is there a way to do this
using sql agent alerts? I looked at the alerts that are
pre-defined, they are more DB oriented. If someone could
point me to some examples it would be appreciated.
Dave K.Which OS are you running on ?
W2KAS has "quota" management , so you might look into it.
there are also commercial prods available
W2K quotas can be found with the Windows Exploder -select disk--> right
click-->properties--> Quota tab

quota, I just want to be notified when I run out of backup
space. I have some 15GB databases that eat up space
fast. If the regular maintenance backups don't delete the
prior jobs, and sometimes they don't, I want to be
notified before the backup fails, not after.

I scan my SQL instances to run xp_fixeddrives to get free
disk space for each hard drive and check each to see
whether it's below a threshold. If yes, I raise a SQL
error of severity 17. My errorlog monitoring setup will
pick it up from there and page the DBAs.
Of course, this can be consistently done with a NetIQ
configuration as well.
