I'm a developer, and I have 3 servers running with a single disk in - this is obviously dangerous in the event of a disk failure, and the IT ops teams agree, so they will spend a weekend upgrading them.

Their plan is to create an image of the servers, then install an additional disk, enable RAID-1, then restore the images to the servers.

These are production systems running services like AD, SQL2000, MS Exchange, plus all the usual things. There are lots of 'networking rules' on the machines too to link to servers offsite too.

Is there a potential for anything to go wrong with this? Not that I'm paranoid or anything...
