Hello together, I'm looking for a whitepaper or a HowTo paper for migrating to a NAS solution.
It's very difficult to explain what I'm looking for but similar to Mickesofts How to articles "how to migrate from NT4 to W2K"
Thanks for any informations and ideas

Guenter, can you give us a better idea as to what you want/need to migrate.

NAS is merely a storage solution/ implementation. The process of moving data from your current storage implementation to a NAS implementation should be no different than moving data from one drive to another.

If you are trying to move specific things like Exchange information stores or a SQL database, there are specific procedures for each.

I know that for moving Exchange datastore there are special tools( e.g. from NetApp). But I've found also informations that the rhights between OS and NAS solution sometimes are not similar depending on the microkernel of the NAS. I'm looking for practical tips from people after migrating to NAS and all the problems they had.
