I need to know whether drive free space amount is enough for database backup. How can I approximately calculate SQL Server database backup size (for example in FULL recovery mode) before doing backup? Thanks!
This StackOverflow answer[^] might help. You need a combination of sp_spaceused for the data[^] and some low-level access for the transaction log[^].
