Replace the disk with a larger one and recover an archive onto it, adding the rest of the disk as a second chunk. Add a further disk with the additional chunks as mirrors. 3. The underlying problem is that the huge number of databases is making management through dbexport, etc. difficult. Perhaps you should consider a longer term strategy to rectify this. If the databases are different in structure (different table names) you could migrate them into a single database. If you some of the databases duplicate table names then you have a bigger problem. You could consider migrating some of them into a separate instance by exporting and importing them. Ian
