We are using Window NT 4.0 PDS and at present there is no Backup Server (BDS) support. In the primary server lot of Sofware has been installed along with them one of the S/W Retail Pro has been running with Hardware Lock. Presently the HDD is almost full. If we go and setup Backup Server with a higher configuration and higher capcity HDD for the present PDS and promote the BDS to PDS will solve my problem? Another question is the Retail Pro in the BDS m/c promoted to PDS will work smoothly or not if I am changing the Hardware Lock to the new machine?

Yes, you can install new server as BDC and then promote it to PDC.
I don't think there will be any problem if install the Retail Pro software on BDC and then install the Hardware Lock on new machine.
Pls check whether you will have any problem if server name gets change as you are making the new server as BDC in same domain. However you can change the name afterward.
