Move Exchange Server data files to another partition or drive
A company of mine bought a Dell SBS 2003 Exchange Server and the Dell Einstein's made a 12gb partition for the OS on the C drive. The data from the public folders has the C drive space to 0bytes now. I need to know how to move the Public Folder data files from the C drive to the other partition on the drive to free up C drive space. I cannot remember the file extension for the files at the moment, but I need to know the procedure for moving those I think 4 files (2 of one type and 2 of the other) to the other partition that has the most space. Thanks

Thank you. Perfect and easy solution. Giving 50 points to leew, because he was preemptive in knowing what I additionally need to do
You have to move the files with the extensions of .edb & .stm and you can use
ESEUTIL /Y to copy the database from one storage to another, and it will work faster than Backup /Restore process.
