Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a server that its C drive is two 30GB dynmaically formatted drives that are configured in a software Raid 1 config. &nbsp;Unfortunately these drives are filling up fast, and I would like to replace them. &nbsp;I really dont care about putting the mirror back, but how can I image over the contents from the 30GB mirrored drives to a larger HDD? &nbsp;The server is running Windows Server 2003. &nbsp;I have tried that NTBACKUP ASR Backup in the past, but it does not work because of the RAID configuration and Dynamic Disks, or at least I could not get it to work.<br />
<br />
Quick notes:<br />
<br />
Old config<br />
- two 30GB HDD<br />
- dymanic disks formatting<br />
- software Raid 1<br />
<br />
New config<br />
- single 250 GB HDD<br />
- basic disk formatting?<br />
- No raid<br />
<br />
Please help, than you!<br />
<br />

Hello,

I have a server that its C drive is two 30GB dynmaically formatted drives that are configured in a software Raid 1 config.  Unfortunately these drives are filling up fast, and I would like to replace them.  I really dont care about putting the mirror back, but how can I image over the contents from the 30GB mirrored drives to a larger HDD?  The server is running Windows Server 2003.  I have tried that NTBACKUP ASR Backup in the past, but it does not work because of the RAID configuration and Dynamic Disks, or at least I could not get it to work.

Quick notes:

Old config
- two 30GB HDD
- dymanic disks formatting
- software Raid 1

New config
- single 250 GB HDD
- basic disk formatting?
- No raid

Please help, than you!

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
