I have a Novell Server running Netware 4.1. I am almost running out of space on my server HD. This HD is a SCSI HD. I just purchased a new HD,and I am thinking of ghosting it. Is there an easier way to trnasfer the data from my old Hard drive to my new one with out modifying anything? Any help is appreciated, THANK YOU

****** Forgot to mention! Is there a version of ghost for Novell Servers? Also if I ghost the actual drive, I asume that the new drive will only be the same size as the old one. Can I resize this partition on my new drive, or do I have to create another volume?

Get yourself a copy of ServerMagic from PowerQuest. A bit expensive but it is designed to move volumes like SYS: from smaller to larger disks.
That or dump everything to tape, reinstall Netware and the backup software, and restore - then fix any NDS problems you might have when you bring the server up with its old name. Having done it both ways, I feel ServerMagic is the better way to go.
