Hi!

I recently purchased a new HP EX490 server. Currently I have 4 1TB hard drives installed. What if I decided to upgrade all the drives to 2TB drives? Can I hot swap each drive at a time and plug and play or will I loose all my data?

You can swap each of the drives for a larger one without loosing data so long as everything is duplicated. The system drive is the only caveat there and a server recovery would need to be done to upgrade that and still keep the data.

When you remove a drive from the pool it will advise you of what the consequences are for each one.

Thanks for your reply!

What about back up on my Windows home server? Do I need to assign a hard drive to it or can I allocate a certain amount of storage for back up? How do I enable the back up feature?
