B> PowerQuest has announces ServerMagic 2.0, whose enhancements include NT Server functionality, compatibility with NetWare 5.0, and a new interface. ServerMagic, distributed in South Africa by Server Tools, allows enterprise administrators to upgrade a server`s hard drive and expand its partitions on the fly.
ServerMagic automatically copies or moves an NT or NetWare server`s hard drive to a new one without having to back up or restore a single trustee right, directory setting or byte of data. Once copied, ServerMagic allows the user to expand NetWare partitions, as well as the DOS partition, on the new server drive, saving time and money for the administrator.
Typically LAN administrators spend several hours, usually at nights or on weekends, upgrading and restoring a server system. ServerMagic removes this need by reducing the time it takes to upgrade a server drive.
Responding to administrator requests for NT Server support, ServerMagic 2.0 features a single CD with NT Server and NetWare functionality options. On the NT side, ServerMagic 2.0 hides a partition or creates an NTFS partition, in addition to copy, move and resize functionality.
In NetWare versions 3.12 through 5.0, ServerMagic 2.0 allows the administrator to create a mirror or hide a partition. It can also reduce the size of an enlarged NetWare partition, in addition to the original copy, move and enlarge features.
"ServerMagic 2.0 will be the all-in-one solution for the two major network operating systems," says Server Tools MD Dave Terespolsky.
* PowerQuest is offering a free upgrade to current ServerMagic users for a limited time.
