re-partition cost?

Hi

When our server was originally setup the c: drive was set too small and it is now causing us problems.

What should we expect to pay for the following job as we don't want to get ripped off:-

1) move all data from our server to our NAS drive (60Gb of data)
2) increase the size of the size of the c: partition
3) move all data back to the server

TIA

Our support company say it's a days work and are charging over £700 :eek:

We will be looking for another company when our contract expires but for now we are unsure what to do.

It's not something we can do oursleves as our server is business critical and we wouldn't want to make a mess of the job.

What is the size of your C: drive? 12GB
Have you moved the ClientApps Folder off of C? Not sure
Have you moved the Exchange DB of C? Yes

Thanks for all the ideas/replies.

The problem we have is that if we do it ourselves no one here has to knowledge to fix things if it goes wrong.

We have now re-negotiated the price with our support company and it's now reasonable.
