SQL2000. Currently the db's are on a 4 drive raid5.
I want to backup, pull out the 4 drives and install 6 new
drives and config for raid 1+0, then restore the db.
Question: Is it that simple. Any gotchas. Do I need to
detach the db's before removing the drives?
Plan on doing this Saturday night 2/21.
Tks, ...Jim
