On Windows Server 2003, we started a job to shrink a an overly large partition. This shrinking is already taking 9 hours (no errors thrown), but now it is in the middle of our peak traffic time in the U.S. so we need to either abort the re-partitioning or access certain data to restore it to another server.
How can I access data on other partitions (not the partition that is shrinking) while this shrinking process is going on?
