Backing up user accounts

[cpainter@dovecomputers.com]

We have a dell server with Microsoft Small Business server, which is
in real need of updating. I need to increase the hard drives within
the server however in doing this I will have to format the existing
data. This should be a major problem, however I need to back-up or
make a report of all users, user permissions, user email addresses and
any other info surrounding user account. Does anyone know of a tool
that can do this? I will be making a Microsoft back-up however because
I am changing the storage size I am a little worried that the back-up
I make will not recover correctly, which in turn is why I need to find
a tool to do all the above.

Thanks

Re: Backing up user accounts

How about a Ghost image of the server? Ghost can restore to disimal
partition sizes.
