Is there a way to move database and related log files to a different volume
in Exchange 2007 CCR environment? Per my understanding we can create upto 50
storage group for exchange 2007 enterprise server. I have storage group/14
databases. WE are using ecologic snapshot technology for our DR solution.
apparently this is not working because ecologic can not see beyond 8 or 9
databases. So, we are trying to see if there is any way we can move few
databases/log files out to another volume. If there is any documentation on
this, would you please provide the link.

Thanks.

Suspend-StorageGroupCopy on the one you want to move.
Dismount-Database
Move-StorageGroupPath with the -ConfigurationOnly switch
Manually move the storage group files on both active and passive nodes
Move-DatabasePath with the -ConfigurationOnly switch
Manually move the database files on both the active and passive nodes
Mount-Database
Resume-StorageGroupCopy

I believe that's the process but I'm not in a place to test it for you,
sorry.
