We have an SBS2K installation where the C: drive is only
4gb and we are running out of space frequently. The
system has 3 18gb SCSI drives configured as follows using
Disk Manager. C: is 4gb mirrored on Disk0 & Disk1. D: is
14gb Raid-5 on Disk0, Disk1, and Disk2. Our original
thought was that this would be a safe and well performing
configuration. Eventually our Data storage requirement
outgrew the 14gb D drive, so I installed 3 large IDE
drives arranged in a Raid-5 where all the user and
company files now reside.
My hope is to complete a full backup of C: and D:, then
reconfigure the drives using Recover Disks, and restore.
Everything backedup on C: will resore to C: and the same
on D:, Its just that they will different sizes and
probably different raid configurations. My questions are:
Will the restored windows system recognize the change and
load properly? Will the shares be OK? Will SQL and
Exchange server be OK? Do you have any suggestions for
configuration?
Thank you,
Steve Mahon
