Backup server then restore to same drives but changing the size of the partitions

Thread needs solution

Is the above possible?

This is a one off job o I don't want to buy the Acronis Disk Director for the SBS 2003.

I plan to use acronis Backup and Recovery 10.

Thanks

Hello Robert!

Welcome to our Forum, we're glad to greet you here! I completely understand your scenario, and will be glad to help you with it.

Your plan is very reasonable, and of course you can restore with resizing. I'm glad to inform you that we have an article with the step-by-step screenshots, describing the restore with resize process, you can find it here. Basically, you will need to select partitions for recovery one by one instead of entire disk restore. This will allow you to change the size of the partition to the desired one, and select the next volume for recovery. Repeat these steps with all the partitions, and proceed with the restoration.

Please follow the instructions mentioned, and don't hesitate to contact us directly in case of any technical difficulties.

Should you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know, we will be glad to help you!
