Hi,

YOu have specified 10% auto growth and currently your database is 25 GB.
That means the autogrowth will be >2.5 GB. So just see if you have more than
2.5 GB free space
in hard disk.


Thanks
Hari

It is possible that the data file has enough free space . How big is your
..BAK file? How long have you noticed that database does not grow?

So , roughly you have 5GB free within data files

10% auto growth is not OK for larger databases. Increment size is 2.5GB in
that case so your disk system would have to write 2.5GB in 30 seconds on
disk. That's almost 100MB/second. Is your disk subsystem that fast? After 30
seconds clients get time-outs (by default) and file growth is canceled. You
can manualy expand file size to desired size or specify smaller fixed
increment size (256MB..)
