I know there's hundreds and hundreds of articles all very similar to my request out there, however, I just thought I'd throw my own problem into the mix in hope that one/some of you have some suggestions to help put my mind at rest.
We have a server thats running Raid 5, with 4 72gb Physicals making one Logical, with 2 partitions. The OS Partition is 10gb, the Data partition is 200gb (there abouts).
The OS Partition is progressively getting close to it's limit and I want to address this.
The Data partition has a few installed programs but 90% of the information is data (Docs etc).
At present theres 2gb free on the OS and 85gb free on the Data.
I'd like to allocate 15gb of the Data partition to the OS partition.
My plan is to backup the contents of the Data partition to an image, and also copy the documents to another server. Then I plan to take an image of the OS partition, resize this and drop it back.
Can anyone see any problems? Offer suggestions, or other solutions?
I have Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers (8.5) to play with...
The Drives are basic, and NTFS.
