Server Primary Drive Replacement

[Whoop]

Hi All,

I have a small business Dell exchange server which doesn't use RAID for the OS drive and this is now failing.

I was thinking of replacing it via Windows Server Backup and running a Bare Metal Recovery onto a new drive but how do I know it won't change during the backup/before I shutdown and drive swap.

Any tips?

Thanks everyone, I should probably post an update now I've remembered it!

I went with the option of incremental backup and Bare Metal Recovery in the end, it was mostly successfully but the exchange still wrote a couple of log files to the primary drive which caused a sync error when it was all booted back up as they were missing. Renaming the logs folder and running eseutil pulled it back in line though.
