Monitoring Disk Consumption/DB Growth

Hello, I have a 125GB SQL DB whose growth I need to monitor. I've been
manually checking it each day and comparing growth of the .bak file from my
DB Maint. Plan. Is there a better way to measure daily growth of the DB.
Also, I have 4 other drives with non-DB image files that are added daily. Is
there an automated way or Administrative Tool to monitor the decline of free
disk space on 4 logical drives? Thanks, PanchoYou can check out DataStudio from AgileInfoSoftware at
http://www.agileinfollc.com, under the performance tab it has database
performance monitoring facility.

There is a script on
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Scripts/listscripts.asp?categorynm=Maintenance%20and%20Management%20&categoryid=1
"SQL Server Database File Sizes" which may do what you require.
