If the Databases you are talking about are SQL then it is easy

 

First Stop your EV services

On your SQl server detatch the Database

copy the Database and logs to new disk

Next attach the databases again when it prompts you for the files then navigate to the new disk and select the .mdf and .ldf files

 

then start your Ev services again

 oh and as always make a backup before you do anything...just in case you hit the wrong key

OK there is a little more that this involved but if you have any SQl knowledge this is all you need to do this

I did expect it to be that easy sins as far as i can figure out, EV does not reffer to SQL other than by SQL server name and DB instanses, and have no refferers to where the actal DB is located on the drive(s).

Thank for help Liam, I'll giv it a go :)
