    NTFS HD compression

    Locked

    HI

    I got an exchange server with 18G HD that split into two equal partitions of 9 gig each. priv.edb (7.5 gig) is on the second partition and is compress.
    I want to do an offline backup by copy the file onto the network but it keep giveme message “can not copy need to delete other file”.
    I had never seen this problem with file copy. Second partition has 1 gig of free space left.
    I will get HD but I need to be able to backup copy first. If I stick on 9 gig hd will it let me copy?

      When copying across partitions the file will inherit the target folders compression state and permissions. Compress the target folder and then copy the file over.
