Hi All,
We are currently using GFI free backup software to take file server data ( File server data only ) we are planning to configure RAID on file server HDDs by adding more HDDs. at the moment we don't have RAID configured on our server. we have a single domain. what we are planning to do is take a backup of all file server data ( currently resides on two hard disks ) and add more hard disks and configured RAID on them by adding extra HDDs. this will change partitions and we need to format original disks. their will be only one disk after RAID configuration. After that we can restore data from backup disks. my worrying is we are taking GFI backups ( GFI free backups ). Once we restore data do I need to assign folder and file permissions again one be one. I didn't have a look to GFI backup. ( Backup process is done by other person ) and I don't know for sure whether they have that feature. for system I will take windows system image and restore it. so we can restore the OS without issue. and we have installed DFS ( distributed File System service on the file server ) with new arrangement we may need to reconfigure the DFS folder path also because we mapped data on two physical disks to DFS am I correct ? please advice
thanks
