Hi All,

I'm trying to plan a sharepoint installation but unsure what "seperate" storage requirements I have. For example with Exchange I know I have the binaries, databases and transaction logs.

I know I have a SQL Database with log files but assuming this holds only metadata?
Whats the general sizing requirement for this?
Is the web content held under wwwroot?
Do I need to provision space for indexing?

Many Thanks in advance

Mark :)
