Hi All
I am busy with an EV server move to new H\ware
The VS and Indexes are about 1.20 TB that needs to be copied to a new LUN that will eventually use the same Drive letter as before.
At this customer the copy ,they wont restore , can take 24 hours . I want to to ensure that users can access old data but no new data is added to the storage during the copy.
Would putting the EV server into backup mode be the easiest way to achieve this.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Bruce
That would definitely be the easiest way.
What you also could do is just let it run, and after the first "copy", set it to backup mode, and do a differential copy (using robocopy).
This way, you are probably reducing your "impact window" to less than those 24h
Just my 20c
