I have a server that had RAID-5 (3x 140GB SAS drives) partitioned to C: (12GB) and D: (268GB). The problem was that the original retard that partitioned these didn't leave a big enough C: for today's symantec utilities so I was forced to change it. The system drive had about 500MB remaining. I have changed the VDs to two RAID-1 drives each with 140GB so that C: and D: will be on different VDs. I have backups done with BackupExec and ASR. I tried using ASR recovery but I receive the error,
"Setup was unable to restore the configuration of your system
because of the following error:
The capacity of the current system disk drive is
insufficient, and cannot be used to recover the
partitions on the original system disk."
My question is whether or not it's possible to change the sif files that ASR uses to adjust for the different size volumes?
I see hex and drive sizes here in ASR.sif

While I'm waiting for your answers i'll be doing a regular install and see if I can restore with the backupExec files (plan B).
Thanks,
