Hi there, i have a question about restoring a server backup to different sized partition.
my situation is:
im currently running a raid 10 configuration (hp smart array) using 4 * 2Tb HDD's with a total 4Tb of usable storage space.
at the time of partitioning i didn't realize my server hardware doesn't support GPT booting. I created 1 logical drive with a total space allocation of 4TB, now of course when windows formats the drive I end up with only 2TB of usable storage (MBR restriction)
What i would like to do is, delete the logical drive (since i cant re size it) and create 2 new logical drives, the first being a 250GB C drive (MBR), and the second, a 3.75TB storage drive (GPT). So basically my question is, can i backup all my current server settings, files and system state and be able to restore it to the new 250gb logical drive?
i believe the total space being used on the current drive is 80gb of 2tb.
i would really apprecaite any help or advice!
thank you for your time!
