Quicker to dump the DB and migrate just the OS then re-create the drives and import the DB ?

Not as bad as running WUMT on a Pentium 4 system to install the POSReady patches. Can't wait for XP2ESD.

Yeah, I like watching paint dry. In 2007 I had a 75TB db replicated from Trumbull CT to Philly over a shared oc48 link. Storage based replication and separate log shipping. After a network event, junior admin didn't bother to follow the network outage documents and just brought the systems up without having the storage based replication sync...

That was a long freaking week and a half instead of thirty minutes of downtime. Watching paint dry, grass grow, and having three levels of upper management with your phone on speed dial.
