It's a new year, and the new questions are crawling out of the wood-work
here.

We have an NT fileserver with four 'filesystems' (drives), co-located by
filesystem. It's about to be replaced, and in the process the 'X:' drive
will be split into the 'X:' and'Y:' drives. How do I handle this at the
server level so that I don't loose backup generations?

It looks like I need to do an export node with the filespace specified,
rename the filespace on the node, and then do an import -- this will, of
course, double the data until my expire inventory reaches the
retainextra/retainonly limits after the first backup.

Is there a better way?

TIA
