Is it possible to move the ASZ?

Thread needs solution

I would like to move the ASZ to a different drive, without losing its contents. Is this possible?

Thanks.

You could move the backups out of the ASZ to some other partition temporarily, then delete the ASZ and recreate a new one, finally move the backups back to the ASZ. To move, you can use the move command from within ATI.
There are some old post out there that show how to edit the partition table codes to make the ASZ a normal partition, that could save you at least one move (you would make the current ASZ a normal partition, and maybe ATI would let you create another ASZ at this point...)

Thanks for the suggestions. I think it turned out simpler than either of us expected. I did the following:
a) Use Disk Director to copy the ASZ to the new location.
b) Use DD to change the old ASZ partition type to Windows NTFS. (This also gave it a drive letter.)
c) Run ATIH. It appears to have found the new ASZ, since a backup was successful and appears in the 'disk recovery' list, but no new files appeared in the old location.
I can't guarantee this since I only did it once. But it appears to have achieved what I wanted.
However, I'm a bit confused as to why I only get three backups listed in the 'disk recovery' drop-down, when there are 17 in the old ASZ location (AAD1.TIB through AAD17.TIB, all 4GB except AAD10 (1.65GB) & AAD17 1.81GB)).

Good to know about Disk Director support of the ASZ type.
The ASZ is FAT32 so it has to cut the backups in slices.
You could validate the backups from the ATI UI to verify that all files necessary are correctly tracked by ATI.
