Ran out of disk space on exchange 2003
Hi ,
has anyone used storagecraft exchange granular recovery to restore multiple mailboxes from a legacy block level backup to a different mailbox store?
what is your experience with it in regards to speed?
Also if you haven't tried it, do your recommend any similar software ?
I reduced the database size by moving some users to a different one but this takes long time, so my goal is to backup the database with the remaining users, delete it, create a new one, move the users back to the new database.
thank you..

is this a physical box? what is your disk layout?

Yes, raid 5.
no other space available to add disks?

No, but I put half of the users on a database on an external usb3 drive (about 80 GB of datat, 100 users), it is working great so far with no performance issues, i know it is not recommended and not supported but i had no other choice.
there is only about 30 users left on the old database, so my plan is to move the old database to the external drive off hours, delete it to free the space, move the new database on the external drive to the server, then start moving the 30 users slowly to the new database.
does this looks like a sound plan?
