[QUOTE="Bagal, post: 641303, member: 27764"] I restored the latest backup from my Home Server but any disk imaging software should be able to clone the existing drive on to the new one. Probably the only thing to be aware of is if your existing drive is bigger than the new one as most of the disk cloning software I've used won't let you clone to a smaller drive even though the amount of data is less than the size of the drive, which is exactly the problem I had with Windows Home Server. In the end I resized the existing partition, created a new backup and then restored from the smaller backup, but it was a pain to have to do that. I've previously used DriveImageXML for creating disk images which I believe can do what you want and it's free, although I'm sure there's plenty of other options out there. [/QUOTE]
