Hello: I have configured my Information Store to write their logs to a different volume to help increase performance. My backups are configured to do a FULL backup twice a week which also flushes the logs. Lately my log volume has been filling up. I need to increase the size of the log volume, so I was going to replace the drives with larger ones. Basically I was going to do the following: 1. Shutdown Exchange services 2. Do a backup of the log volume 3. Replace the disks with larger ones 4. Restore the backup of the log volume 5. Turn the Exchange services back on I think this should be straight forward. Does anyone have any input? Thanks. Harrison Midkiff
