What Is The Best Way To Clone A Database From Production To Development Environment?
Omer, It sounds like you are saying that you don't have enough space on the Dev server to restore all of the databases from prod without truncating some tables and shrinking the database to recover space. I'm unsure if you mean above that increasing the size of the drives on the Dev server is an option or not. That part is unclear.
I would push to increase the size of the drives and explaining to your storage team or Windows Admins that you need the space in order to avoid doing the damaging shrink operation as part of your restore process.
