When attempting to restore, I get an error about the destination drive
being too small. If I understand correctly, the destination partition
has to be larger than the source partition in order for this to work.

Given where I am now, what options do I have in terms of a disaster
recovery plan?


This is the thing I HATE about SBS 08's backup - you can not restore the
system to a smaller array/drive, even if the "data" would fit. It no
longer works with Ghost or NT Backup.

I fought this on a QA server for days, trying all sorts of things, and
it's just not possible to restore to a smaller Physical drive/array even
if all of the data would fit with lots of spare/free space left over.
