Clarifying the intent, as I saw some things which gave me concerns:
My goal is to pull the drives out and move them to a new Fileshare server. I don't want to format the drives, however, just have the new server access the files. However, if the drives are going to require formatting in the new server then I'll need to figure out how to back up the files elsewhere.
Anyone know if there are any issues with moving the drives from one server to another?
Thanks!
