2) use drive imaging software to copy the existing system to image (say, on a USB HDD) and back to the larger drives, modifying the partition size in the process.

I think this is going to be route that we take.

Today I have been testing out Storage Craft's server protect version and it looks to be excellent. I have taken images of the C: and D: partitions and am going to try a 'bare metal restore' too different hardware.

If this goes well then this will prob be the route we go down.

Storage Craft doing backup full weekly/inc daily to removable HDD. Sync a copy of the data from the removable HDD to internet with something like Mozy.com

There reason for requiring more disk space is that a terminal services server onsite is being commissioned and the legacy apps on it are being migrated to the SBS. There total around 6Gb. Email for the 15 users is relativly small, the Exchange store is around 1.2Gb.

Thanks,
