Are the DB's on the VM? If so why not just shut it down, copy the VMDK files onto an external drive and drive them over. Copy into new data store, seize ownership and fire it back up? John W. Cook Network Operations Manager Partnership for Strong Families

Only exchange server in the domain. The size of the VM is 250GB, the link speed is 300Mb/s, the virtual environment is ESX4.1 Fall back position is to shutdown VM and backup onto tape/Disk and drive the 30 minutes to the new site and restore, but that is probably a 5 hour outage Don't want to do a swing move (ie , set up another server at new site and migrate to it and remove old server) Does anyone know of any third party wmware apps that would in effect snapshot he machine to the new location and provide updated snapshots up to cutover time? Or something else? --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
