  • The birth of Small Business Server realizes small enterprise's desire to use server which provides excellent function such as:

    4. With SBS server, we can help enterprise easily backup server and client to hard disk.
    5. SBS server can also provide convenience to us in other aspects such as remote connection and cooperation application platform,
    Above only tells advantages of using SBS server for enterprise. With constantly update of computer technology, its function will be more all-round. However, SBS server has its disadvantages, since it is mini server, its disk space will not be very large. After it is used for a long time, computer occasionally informs us of low disk space. As for common personal computer, we just need to delete part of unimportant data or store part of the data into other mobile disks. But SBS server functions as a server, so data in it is usually very important and is assigned a specific space. If these data were deleted or moved, unnecessary troubles will be brought to our work. So it's very troublesome when the SBS disk space is low. To avoid troubles caused by low disk space, we should reasonably manage disk space. Among disk management solutions, partition management is one of the most cost-effective and efficient methods to avoid low disk space of SBS server. However, as the same as all the other server editions, there are still faults in disk space management of SBS server. And it's very complex to manage disk space with server built-in disk management tool, while the operation risks high danger. Once the operation goes wrong, server data may lose. So as for partition management of SBS server, I suggest you use partition magic. As for partition magic, I recommend that you choose MiniTool Partition Wizard to manage disk. Before introducing MiniTool Partition Wizard, I will introduce the advantages of partition.

    Advantages of SBS server partition operation
    Just now we talked about disk partition management which is one of the most cost-effective and efficient methods to avoid low disk space of SBS server. Now, I will concretely tell the advantages of adopting partition management to manage disk space for SBS server:
    1. We can store different types of data in different partitions by partitioning SBS server disk, making it more convenient to search and manage data.
    2. After SBS server is partitioned, even when it is attacked by virus, data in this partition may lose, but those in other partitions will never lose.
    3. Since cluster size increases as the partition increases, cluster size increase will be efficiently prevented by partition management, saving cost.
    Are you attracted by above advantages and desiring to execute disk partitioning for your SBS disk partition? Now I will make detailed introduction about how to execute SBS server disk partitioning with MiniTool Partition Wizard.
