Yes MArk is right ,

You can perform the test client copy.

Even though it will consume some time, but it will give you the exact picture of client size. It inturn will help you avoid archive struck as well.

Because if it is a large client then you have to make sure log backup should be run more frequently.

Hallo,

to determine the space of a client you can use the programme RSTABLESIZE documented in note 118823.

Do a client copy test run - it will tell you the runtime and the size of the client.
