Hi there,

I would like to know answers to two questions:

a) if Acronis Disk Director will seamlessly extend partition which holds an active Exchange 2007 Information Store (with mounted datastores, partition is not a system partition, platform is win2k3) into an unallocated space (same logical disk). I know it can seamleslly extend other servers (file server, etc), but I have not tested it on Exchange. If it cannot then that means an outage window. I am not worried if it slows down operations a bit because that would be done outside office hours anyway.

b) also, I it would help to know how long would this operation approximately take (partition is 200 GB in size, extent is 40GB)

Many thanks for your answers, they are appreciated.

Kind regards,

Adam
