Did PP3 fix the restore to a smaller HD issue? I have a 160gb WD that has 44gb data on and want to swap to a 74gb raptor. I know that I can use Acronis to do this but WHS is so much easier.
No. The "bare metal" restore still requires a disk that's the same size or larger as a practical matter. There are conditions where a smaller disk can be used, but they're somewhat rare and they'll really never allow a disk less than half the original size, really.I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
